Easily measure elapsed time

Question

I am trying to use time() to measure various points of my program.

What I don\'t understand is why the values in the before and after are the same? I understand thi

Answer 1

They are they same because your doSomething function happens faster than the granularity of the timer. Try:

printf ("**MyProgram::before time= %ld\n", time(NULL));

for(i = 0; i < 1000; ++i) {
    doSomthing();
    doSomthingLong();
}

printf ("**MyProgram::after time= %ld\n", time(NULL));
