    Code:
    #include <ctime>
    clock_t std::clock();
    It returns the CPU time since the program started. The constant CLOCKS_PER_SECOND can convert the return value into seconds. Example:
    Code:
    #include <ctime>
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    
    int main() {
       // do something CPU intensive here...
    
       double seconds = clock() / double(CLOCKS_PER_SECOND);
       cout << "This program has been running for " << seconds << " seconds." << endl;
       return 0;
    }

    Could try:
    CLK_TCK
    or
    CLOCKS_PER_SEC
    instead

    what compiler/IDE are you using?

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.
