27: Measure Elapsed Time for a Python Program Execution

You can make use of the time module in order to measure how much execution time your Python program took.

Let's take a look at an example.

'''

Program: Find Program Execution Time 
in seconds sing Python

'''

import time

program_start_time = time.time()

#Program logic
sum = 0
sum = (333*244*245*134*34523525)/((28323424*23883)*39482983)

program_end_time = time.time()

# Calculate the elapsed time
elapsed_time = program_end_time - program_start_time

# Print the elapsed time
print("Elapsed Time:", elapsed_time, "seconds")

When I do multiple runs, I get different outputs.

Elapsed Time: 0.00014829635620117188 seconds
Elapsed Time: 0.00012087821960449219 seconds
Elapsed Time: 0.00014448165893554688 seconds
Elapsed Time: 0.0001227855682373047 seconds
Elapsed Time: 0.00014138221740722656 seconds
