Basic Examples (2)
Get the total time to do a computation:
| In[1]:= |
| Out[1]= |  |
Timing just reports CPU time used:
| In[2]:= |
| Out[2]= |  |
AbsoluteTiming takes into account all time, including getting data over the internet if needed:
| In[1]:= |
| Out[1]= |  |
The second time it is run is faster since the data has been saved for immediate reuse:
| In[2]:= |
| Out[2]= |  |
