<p>4 revision(s)</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>At first I tried to use clock() function in c to time one single addition in C. But the computer is too fast and all you can get is 0.00000 second.<br /> Therefore I wrote a loop to do 1000000000 additions and use the clock() function to find out the total time.<br /> <br /> Here is the code I have used...<br /> <br /> <br /> void main() <br /> {<br /> long time,a=0; <br /> time = clock();<br /> for (int b=0;b&lt;1000000000;b++) <br /> { <br /> a++; <br /> }<br /> time = (clock() - time);<br /> printf(&quot;%ld \n&quot;, time);<br /> } <br /> <br /> The results for int, long and short were similar, which were about 2300.<br /> The double and float type took longer to calculate, the results were above 8000.</div>
