GETHSECONDS
Name:
GetHSeconds
Syntax:
INTEGER GetHSeconds();
Description:
Returns an integer corresponding to the number of hundredths of a second based on
the system clock. Typically, this function could be used for very fine timing, to
determine if a specific amount of time has elapsed.
Parameters:
None.
Return Value:
The number of hundredths of a second based on the system clock.
Example:
INTEGER OldTime, NewTime, Loop;
Loop=0;
OldTime=GETHSECONDS();
WHILE(Loop < 10000)
{
Loop = Loop + 1
}
NewTime=GETHSECONDS();
PRINT (“Elapsed Time is %d hundredths of a second.\n”,
Newtime-OldTime);
The output of this code would be “Elapsed Time is 400 hundredths of a second.”
