Sometimes I just want to know how much time a function takes, but at
the same time I also want the result of the function. For this I wrote
the following function:
def time_test(function, *args):
startTime = time.time()
results = function(*args)
endTime = time.time()
print('It took {0} seconds'.format(endTime - startTime))
return results
I can do:
time_test(test_random, 100, 10 ** 5)
This outputs:
It took 17.01685857772827 seconds
and returns:
(98592, 100833, 0.977775133140936)
When executing:
time_test(test_random, 100, 10 ** 6)
it outputs:
It took 165.26371836662292 seconds
and returns:
(997103, 1002009, 0.9951038363926871)
