The code in this notebook helps with measuring time.
Prerequisites
with
statementTo use the code provided in this chapter, write
>>> from fuzzingbook.Timer import <identifier>
and then make use of the following features.
The Timer
class allows you to measure elapsed real time (in fractional seconds). Its typical usage is in conjunction with a with
clause:
>>> with Timer() as t:
>>> some_long_running_function()
>>> t.elapsed_time()
0.024375417007831857
The class Timer
allows measuring the elapsed time during some code execution.
# ignore
from typing import Type, Any
def clock() -> float:
"""
Return the number of fractional seconds elapsed since some point of reference.

return time.perf_counter()
class Timer:
def __init__(self) -> None:
"""Constructor"""
self.start_time = clock()
self.end_time = None
def __enter__(self) -> Any:
"""Begin of `with` block"""
self.start_time = clock()
self.end_time = None

"""Return elapsed time in seconds"""
if self.end_time is None:
# still running
return clock() - self.start_time
else:
return self.end_time - self.start_time # type: ignore
Here's an example:
def some_long_running_function() -> None:
i = 1000000
while i > 0:
i -= 1
print("Stopping total time:")
with Timer() as t:
some_long_running_function()
print(t.elapsed_time())
Stopping total time: 0.024500041996361688
print("Stopping time in between:")
with Timer() as t:
for i in range(10):
some_long_running_function()
print(t.elapsed_time())
Stopping time in between: 0.025162874997477047 0.04985791699436959 0.07474679200095125 0.0998957919946406 0.14473604199883994 0.1705027499992866 0.1954729999997653 0.21954774999176152 0.2441050420020474 0.2682227920013247
That's it, folks – enjoy!
The Timer

clause:
with Timer() as t:
some_long_running_function()
t.elapsed_time()

Timer
class, it is very easy to measure elapsed time.
