ETIME Elapsed Time Function

Section: FreeMat Functions

Usage

The etime calculates the elapsed time between two clock vectors x1 and x2. The syntax for its use is 
   y = etime(x1,x2)

where x1 and x2 are in the clock output format 

   x = [year month day hour minute seconds]

Example

Here we use etime as a substitute for tic and toc 
--> x1 = clock;
--> sleep(1);
--> x2 = clock;
--> etime(x2,x1);
