time functions startTimer, checkTimer, tic, toc ... - compsystems - 05-01-2015 02:20 AM

Hello

I have seen the power of response in hpprime =), I want to make some comparisons with other calcs and maths pc.

I require timer commands for next firmware

Thanks

ti68K calcs
Code:
name_function(n)
 Func
   Local tm
   startTmr() → tm
   ...      
   checkTmr( tm )
   EndIf
 EndFunc


MatrixLab

Code:

tic;
toc;
disp([ ' computation time [seg] = ' num2str(toc)])

You can already use TEVAL().

You could do a clock walk like tic toc, per your ti68k calcs and MatrixLab, ad hoc mock:

Code:

EXPORT test()
BEGIN 
  local tic:=ticks, toc;
  for toc from 1 to 6000 do end;  // Do whatever needs doing until done doing dat
  toc:=ticks;
  return ("  computation time [seg] ="+string(toc-tic));  //  disp([ ' computation time [seg] = ' num2str(toc)])
END;

The TICKS command, not is in the catalog. =[

TEVAL is difficult to know what it means.
TimerEval or Similar
8 characters is to primitive calculators as ti68k

I found TICKS after much searching ... in [HELP] [TREE] [MAIN] [ THE TOOLBOX MENU] [CATLG MENU] [P-T] TICKS

[CATLG MENU] should be as shortcut to the tools menu buttom


[TOOLS] menu
[MATH]

[CAS]
[CATALOG]
[all cmds and functions ] / [a-e] [f-j] ... [u-z]
