    If you have a C language book, you may want to look into the "time.h" header. There is a function there called clock() which is used to time C code and other processes.

    I have read a sample C code-timing in my book but I wasn't able to memorize the actual implementation.
    All men are created equal. But some are more equal than others.

    Use a 'profiler'. Your compiler might support this option. Better compilers do.
