Welcome folks today in this blog post we will be checking the performance of python code using the time module in python. All the full source code of the application is shown below.
Get Started
In order to get started you need to make an app.py file and copy paste the following code
app.py
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 |
# Python code to demonstrate # length of list # Performance Analysis from operator import length_hint import time # Initializing list test_list = [ 1, 4, 5, 7, 8 ] # Printing test_list print ("The list is : " + str(test_list)) # Finding length of list # using loop # Initializing counter start_time_naive = time.time() counter = 0 for i in test_list: # incrementing counter counter = counter + 1 end_time_naive = str(time.time() - start_time_naive) # Finding length of list # using len() start_time_len = time.time() list_len = len(test_list) end_time_len = str(time.time() - start_time_len) # Finding length of list # using length_hint() start_time_hint = time.time() list_len_hint = length_hint(test_list) end_time_hint = str(time.time() - start_time_hint) # Printing Times of each print ("Time taken using naive method is : " + end_time_naive) print ("Time taken using len() is : " + end_time_len) print ("Time taken using length_hint() is : " + end_time_hint) |
Now if you execute the python script by typing the below command as shown below
python app.py
