matlab tic toc equivalent in C++

Question

I have searched but I can't find an equivalent to the matlab tic/toc function to simply display on the console how long time took the program to do its processing. (ideally I would like to put the tic (start timer) and toc (end timer) anywhere in the program. Any suggestions?

Accepted Answer

I found what I was looking for. Include:

```
#include <ctime>
```

Then at the beginning:

```
 time_t tstart, tend; 
 tstart = time(0);
```

And finally before the end:

```
tend = time(0); 
cout << "It took "<< difftime(tend, tstart) <<" second(s)."<< endl;
```
