   "metadata": {},
   "outputs": [],
   "source": [
    "def func():\n",
    "  sum = 293*19839*29\n",
    "  print(sum)"
   ]
  },
  {
   "cell_type": "code",
   "execution_count": 16,
   "id": "b6bcbefd-9f94-4dc8-a1b6-99ce118c74e2",
   "metadata": {},
   "outputs": [

      "CPU times: user 36 ยตs, sys: 4 ยตs, total: 40 ยตs\n",
      "Wall time: 42.9 ยตs\n"
     ]
    }
   ],
   "source": [
    "%time func()"
   ]
  }
 ],
 "metadata": {
