Trying to make a file that tests how many seconds it takes for python to use a while loop to count how many seconds 1000 loops takes. Not working, I don't know why. Every time I run this it outputs "('It took 0,0')"...The while loop didn't start.
import time
import math
count = 0
PrevTime = time.time()
while count < 1000:
count +=1
if count == 1000:
print ("It took ", time.time() - PrevTime)
raw_input()Lol, try making 1000 into 100000. It's doing it too quick and rounding down the time.
Try to run the loop 1 000 000 times instead of 1000. On my machine, it takes 0.0818829536438 seconds for 1 million times. See also the module timeit.
Generally, the structure is more like this.
import time
count = 0
PrevTime = time.time()
while count < 1000:
count +=1
print ("It took ", time.time() - PrevTime)
raw_input()Using "==" in a loop is dicey in more complicated loops, as the counter could be incremented more than once. If you want to do this, use
if count > 999: instead
