I'm trying to find a way to test how long it takes a block of C++ code to run. I'm using it to compare the code with different algorithms and under different languages, so ideally I would like a time in seconds / milliseconds. In Java I'm using something like this: long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis(); function(); long stopTime...
