• Usage:

  cpuTime()

• Outputs:
  • a real number, the number of seconds of cpu time used since the program was started

i1 : t1 = cpuTime()

o1 = 204.694471972

o1 : RR (of precision 53)

i2 : for i from 0 to 1000000 do 223131321321*324234324324;

i3 : t2 = cpuTime()

o3 = 205.613626301

o3 : RR (of precision 53)

i4 : t2-t1

o4 = .9191543290000084

o4 : RR (of precision 53)
