time functions startTimer, checkTimer, tic, toc ...

[DrD]

You could do a clock walk like tic toc, per your ti68k calcs and MatrixLab, ad hoc mock:

Code:


EXPORT test()
BEGIN 
  local tic:=ticks, toc;
  for toc from 1 to 6000 do end;  // Do whatever needs doing until done doing dat
  toc:=ticks;
  return ("  computation time [seg] ="+string(toc-tic));  //  disp([ ' computation time [seg] = ' num2str(toc)])
END;
