tic

..  tic()

Set a timer to be read by the next call to :func:`toc` or :func:`toq`. The macro call ``@time expr`` can also be used to time evaluation.

Examples

In the Julia programming language, the function tic()

Set a timer to be read by the next call to toc() or toq(). The macro call @time expr can also be used to time evaluation.

Usage examples:

1. Measure execution time of a code block:

   julia> tic();   # Start the timer
   julia> for i in 1:1_000_000
              # Code to be timed
         end
   julia> toc()    # Get the elapsed time
   0.006264003

   This example measures the execution time of a for loop by starting the timer with tic(), running the code block, and then obtaining the elapsed time with toc().

2. Time a specific function call:

   julia> function my_function(n)
              # Code implementation
         end
   
   julia> tic();   # Start the timer
   julia> my_function(10_000)
   julia> toc()    # Get the elapsed time
   0.002135468

   Here, the tic() and toc() functions are used to measure the execution time of the my_function call.

3. Use @time macro for timing:

   julia> @time begin
              # Code to be timed
          end

   The @time macro can also be used to time the evaluation of a code block. It automatically prints the elapsed time, memory allocations, and memory usage.

Please note that toq() is not a standard Julia function. If you intended to refer to another function, please provide the correct name and description.
