eggtimer

Description

This crate provides Rust timer types for measuring time in a program in different ways.

• Elapsed is a timer that counts up and knows how much time has passed since it was started.
• Timer is a timer that counts down from its set Duration and knows how much time it has left.
• Stopwatch is a timer that counts up and can be paused and resumed.

In addition to the timer types, a collection type, TimedList, is provided, which associates each element with a Duration and only retains elements whose Duration has not elapsed.

Usage

To use this crate, add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
eggtimer = "0.6.0"

Example

use eggtimer::Elapsed;

fn computation() {
    // Do some computation that takes some time.
}

fn main() {
    // Start the timer
    let timer = Elapsed::start();

    // Do a computation
    computation();

    // Check how long it took
    let elapsed = timer.seconds();
    println!("The computation took {} seconds.", elapsed);
}
