Measuring time of operation...

[4k3or3et]

Hi guys

i have a little code like this:

Code: Select all

lower = 0
upper = 1000
print("Prime numbers between",lower,"and",upper,"are:")
for num in range(lower,upper + 1):
   if num > 1:
       for i in range(2,num):
           if (num % i) == 0:
               break
       else:
           print(num)

which lists prime numbers from 0 to 1000.

What i would like to achieve here is to have information as last line, after all prime number displayed how much time the entire operation took, with milisecons.

I am complete noob with all sort of programming.

Can anyone help me what should i add to my code?

Thank you.

Does this have to be done by modifying your script?

Because there is a time command that can be used at a Linux shell prompt that will provide the same information.

See

Code: Select all

man time

Maybe get the time in milliseconds at the start, get it again at the end, and subtract the two.

Code: Select all

import time
starttime = int(round(time.time() * 1000))
...
... stuff you want to time
...
endtime = int(round(time.time() * 1000))
print("elapsed time in milliseconds = ", endtime-starttime)

Thank you for your reply. That would be it.

I just did not make myself clear. What i would like is to have the time in format how many hours, minutes, seconds and milisecond it takes. Any clues how to modify 'int(round(time.time() * 1000))' to achieve that?

Thanks again neilgl.

This short bit of code will convert the number of seconds in to hours:minutes:seconds with the full number of decimal places for the seconds.

Code: Select all

difference = 20469.50422811508179

seconds = difference
minutes = seconds // 60
hours = minutes // 60

print ("number of seconds",difference)
  
delay = "%02d:%02d:%.15g" % (hours, minutes % 60, seconds % 60)    

print("converted to hours:minutes:seconds ",delay)

was taken from a python3 program I wrote for another project hence the odd variable names.

produces the results

number of seconds 20469.50422811508
converted to hours: minutes:seconds 05:41:9.50422811508179

hope it helps

Edit ...

may be even better

Code: Select all

difference = 20469.50422811508179


seconds = difference
minutes = seconds // 60
hours = minutes // 60

milliseconds = ((seconds - int(seconds)) *1000)

print ("number of seconds",difference)

    
delay = "%02d:%02d:%02d:%03d" % (hours, minutes % 60, seconds % 60, milliseconds)    

print("converted to hours:minutes:seconds:milliseconds ",delay)

now produces

number of seconds 20469.50422811508
converted to hours:minutes:seconds:milliseconds 05:41:09:504

Thanks a lot.

So i managed to get the code like this:

Code: Select all

difference = 20469.50422811508179


seconds = difference
minutes = seconds // 60
hours = minutes // 60

milliseconds = ((seconds - int(seconds)) *1000)

print ("number of seconds",difference)

delay = "%02d:%02d:%02d:%03d" % (hours, minutes % 60, seconds % 60, milliseconds)

print("converted to hours:minutes:seconds:milliseconds ",delay)

The only problem now is that it always shows the remaining milliseconds as '000'

for example:

Code: Select all

elapsed time in milliseconds =  1846
converted to hours:minutes:seconds:milliseconds  00:00:01:000

Anyone see where is the bug?

[B.Goode]

Anyone see where is the bug?

Difficult to say, because the output does not seem to have come from that script.

Sorry about the mess.

So i clean up the code a little bit:

Code: Select all

import time
start = int(time.time() * 1000)

lower = 0
upper = 10000
print("Prime numbers between",lower,"and",upper,"are:")
for num in range(lower,upper + 1):
   if num > 1:
       for i in range(2,num):
           if (num % i) == 0:
               break
       else:
           print(num)

stop = int(time.time() * 1000)

difference = stop-start
milliseconds = difference
seconds = milliseconds // 1000
minutes = seconds // 60
hours = minutes // 60
milliseconds2 = (milliseconds - int(milliseconds))

time = "%02d:%02d:%02d:%03d" % (hours, minutes % 60, seconds % 60, milliseconds2)
print("milliseconds:", difference)
print("time:", time)

output looks like this:

Code: Select all

Prime numbers between 0 and 10000 are:

milliseconds: 1775
time: 00:00:01:000

as you can see it took 1775ms to complere the task. However human readable time shows only 1 second and 0 milliseconds, where correct time should be 00:00:01:775.

Hope that helps. Anyone can see the bug now?

[B.Goode]

Code: Select all

milliseconds2 = (milliseconds - int(milliseconds))

So substituting your values -

milliseconds2 = (1775 - int(1775)) = 0 !

So '0' is what gets printed, just as you asked...

Have you considered this in Python3 :

Code: Select all

import time
import math

start = time.perf_counter()
# wait a bit or something happens
end = time.perf_counter()

duration = end - start

fractions_of_a_second, seconds = math.modf(duration)

then convert seconds to hours and minutes as you wish.

Code: Select all

milliseconds2 = (milliseconds - int(milliseconds))

So substituting your values -

milliseconds2 = (1775 - int(1775)) = 0 !

So '0' is what gets printed, just as you asked...

Of course! what a silly mistake.

Thanks guys for help!

Last thing i would like to achieve is to count how many prime number were found at given number range. Anybody knows what to use for that?

So I have modified your code a bit so that it makes things easier to get the results you wanted.

Code: Select all

import time
start = time.time()

count = 0
lower = 0
upper = 10000
print("Prime numbers between",lower,"and",upper,"are:")
for num in range(lower,upper + 1):
   if num > 1:
       for i in range(2,num):
           if (num % i) == 0:
               break
       else:
           print(num)
           count = count + 1

stop = time.time()

seconds = stop - start
minutes = seconds // 60
hours = minutes // 60

milliseconds = ((seconds - int(seconds)) *1000)

millisecondsT = seconds * 1000


time = "%02d:%02d:%02d:%03d" % (hours, minutes % 60, seconds % 60, milliseconds)
print("milliseconds:", millisecondsT)
print("time:", time)
print ("Number of prime numbers found ", count)

which produces these results

milliseconds: 1834.233045578003
time: 00:00:01:834
Number of prime numbers found 1229


So the total milliseconds taken to run the program was 1834.233 ms, which equates to 1 s 834 ms ignoring the point 233 of a ms

and it found 1229 prime numbers.

Oh man! that is perfect!

Thanks a lot all of you for your help!

I really appreciate everyone's time here.
