Re: Calculating Time

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

     // Determine the number of seconds required to do a task:
     //  1. Get the starting timestamp
     //  2. Do the task
     //  3. Calculate the difference between the current
     //     timestamp and the starting timestamp

     start_time = %timestamp();
     process();
     time_taken = %DIFF (%timestamp() : start_time : *SECONDS);
