How to Use Decimals for Precision#

To set the number of decimals in the output (only if less than an hour), use the decimals argument. Instead of the default value 2 for decimals, you can set the output precision up to 9 in the decimals argument:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8

from timer import Timer

timer = Timer()
timer.start(decimals=5)

# Insert your code here

timer.stop()

Terminal output example:

Elapsed time: 0.12345 seconds

Set Decimals in Class Instance or Function#

It's also possible to set the decimals when initiating the Timer:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8

from timer import Timer

timer = Timer(decimals=5)
timer.start()

# Insert your code here

timer.stop()

Terminal output example:

Elapsed time: 0.12345 seconds

Or set the decimals when starting a new thread, which will also override the general decimals defined when initiating the Timer:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8

from timer import Timer

timer = Timer(decimals=5)
timer.start(decimals=9)

# Insert your code here

timer.stop()

Terminal output example:

Elapsed time: 0.123456789 seconds
