I don't see said code so I can't offer much except you would add a variable or two to hold the start time and end time then a little more code to print that out.
For Linux I use the time command. Example document at https://www.faqforge.com/linux/how-to-measure-the-execution-time-of-a-command-in-linux/

You can get the current Unix time here:
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/chrono/c/time
That should give you the number of seconds since 1-1-1970. Just take the number at the beginning of the code, take the number at the end of the code, and the difference is how many seconds your script took to run.

Oh, also, when it says on the page I linked to time since epoch, that’s the same as Unix time, which is the same as a counter of seconds elapsed since 1-1-1970.
