Time Module (time)

The time module provides functions for measuring time and performance.

Functions

time.now_ms()

Returns the current time in milliseconds. Useful for measuring execution time.

Returns:

• number: The current timestamp in milliseconds.

Example:

let start = time.now_ms();
// ... do some work ...
let end = time.now_ms();
print("Work took", end - start, "ms");

time.since_s(start_ms, precision)

Calculates the time elapsed in seconds since a given start time (in milliseconds), formatted to a specified decimal precision.

Arguments:

• start_ms (number): The start time in milliseconds (usually obtained from time.now_ms()).
• precision (number): The number of decimal places for the seconds output.

Returns:

• string|number: The elapsed time in seconds.

Example:

let start = time.now_ms();
// ... do some work ...
let elapsed = time.since_s(start, 3);
print("Elapsed:", elapsed, "s");
