    calculate elapsed-time

    Hi,

    If I want to calculate the elapsed-time of some operations, like sorting a array, which header should i use and which function should i use?

    probably the first answer will help me to find the second answer myself. Please advise.

    In C++, to calculate the elapsed time, we can use

    CTime startTime = CTime::GetCurrentTime();
    // ... perform time-consuming task ...
    CTime endTime = CTime::GetCurrentTime();
    CTimeSpan elapsedTime = endTime - startTime;

    What is the method in C?
