🕒 time.time()
The time.time() function from the Python standard library is a straightforward way to measure the elapsed time during code execution. It returns the current time in seconds since the Epoch (January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC). You can use it to calculate how long a piece of code takes to execute by recording the time before and after the execution and then finding the difference.
Usage Example:
Here’s a simple setup for time.time():
import time
start_time = time.time()
# Place the code you want to time here
time.sleep(2) # Example: simple sleep for 2 seconds
end_time = time.time()
elapsed_time = end_time - start_time
print(f"Elapsed time: {elapsed_time} seconds")
This method is basic, but useful for quick-and-dirty profiling. You can use it to identify areas for more refined profiling.
