Clock function in c

[newbie30]

Can some one tell me if this is the right way using clock

#include <time.h>
int main()
{
int secs=0;
clock_t  begin;
begin = clock();
secs = begin/CLOCKS_PER_SEC;
}

Thanks

Yes, that looks correct. Of course, clock() returns 0 the first time it is called (and thereafter it returns the time since it was first called) -- so secs in your example will always be zero.

Also: you should return zero, and consider indenting your code.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

int main()
{
    clock();
    /* . . . some complicated process . . . */
    printf("That took %d seconds.\n", clock() / CLOCKS_PER_SEC);
    return 0;
}

Thanks for that, if you could answer my question on the sockets in the other post be great, as totally confused myself with the non blocking stuff
