Thread: Working with clock(); getting unexpected result

TY to everyone for the help...gil_johnson found the bug. When I originally copied the code over to my Intel netbook....I noticed the same problem gil did when I ran the program. I changed the code and tested it again and it worked. I then posted my results in response to Adak's advise

I took your advise and before doing in-depth research on my mobo and processor I copied the program over to my Intel Atom Netbook......and the function worked perfectly! I got an answer of 0.031000.

I just never mentioned that I found the bug and corrected it because I thought it was the HTEP/AMD/Intel issue.

I've sense corrected the code on my AMD machine

Code:

lapsed = (double)(end - start)/CLOCKS_PER_SEC;

When I run the program I am now getting 0.015000 as a result. Thanks again everyone who helped!

EDIT: In my original post, I actually have the bug fixed but if you download the .c file I attached to the thread, you can find the bug that gil found and corrected. Ironic I had the problem fixed before I even posted the question....I just never updated my original source
