We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.
The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.
When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.
To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!
tic
[![NPM version][npm-image]][npm-url] [![Build Status][test-image]][test-url] [![Coverage Status][coverage-image]][coverage-url]
Return a high-resolution time.
bash
npm install @stdlib/time-tic
javascript
var tic = require( '@stdlib/time-tic' );
#### tic()
Returns a high-resolution time.
javascript
var t = tic();
// returns [<number>,<number>]
The returned array
has the following format: [seconds, nanoseconds]
.
Notes
- In browser environments, the implementation uses the [
performance.now
][performance-now] API. If the [performance-now
][performance-now] API is unavailable, the implementation falls back to the [Date
][date] object. - In non-browser environments, the implementation uses [
process.hrtime
][process-hrtime].
javascript
var tic = require( '@stdlib/time-tic' );
var toc = require( '@stdlib/time-toc' );
var start = tic();
setTimeout( onTimeout, 2000 );
function onTimeout() {
var elapsed = toc( start );
console.log( 'Elapsed: %d seconds and %d nanoseconds', elapsed[0], elapsed[1] );
}
@stdlib/time-toc
][@stdlib/time/toc]: return a high-resolution time difference.
