我在查找两种不同方法的运行时间时遇到的问题，这两种方法用于查找所有<=一个数的素数。当在程序中进行用户输入时。

错误的方法

#Sample input for a number 20 
#Sample output [2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19]
#Total Running time = 0.634 seconds

import time

start_time = time.time()

#Method 1 to find all the prime numbers <= a Number

# Function to check whether a number is prime or not.
def prime_no(num):
if num<2:
    return False
else:
    for i in range(2, num//2+1):
        if num % i == 0:
            return False
    return True

#To print all the values <= n
def Prime_under_num(n):
    a = [2]
    if n <2:
        print("None")
    elif n==2:
        print(2)
    else:
"Neglecting all even numbers as even numbers won't be prime in order to reduce the time complexity."
        for i in range(3, n+1, 2):   
            if prime_no(i):
                a.append(i)
        print(a)


"When Method 1 is only used outputs of running time for different inputs"
#Total Running time = 2.73761 seconds #n = 100
#Total Running time = 3.14781 seconds #n = 1000
#Total Running time = 8.69278 seconds #n = 10000
#Total Running time = 18.73701 seconds #n = 100000

#Method 2 to find all the prime numbers <= a Number

def Prime_under_num(n):
    a = [2]
    if n <2:
        print("None")
    elif n==2:
        print(2)
    else:
        for i in range(3, n+1, 2):   
            if n%i ==0:
                pass
            else:
                a.append(i)
        print(a)

"When Method 2 is only used outputs of running time for different inputs"
# Total Running time = 2.75935 seconds #n = 100
# Total Running time = 2.86332 seconds #n = 1000
# Total Running time = 4.59884 seconds #n = 10000
# Total Running time = 8.55057 seconds #n = 100000

if __name__ == "__main__" :
    n = int(input())
    Prime_under_num(n)
    print("Total Running time = {:.5f} seconds".format(time.time() - start_time))

上述所有情况下获得的不同运行时间都是错误的。对于我们正在接受输入的问题，我们必须在接受输入后才开始计时。这里，用户键入输入所花费的时间也与运行时间一起计算。

正确的方法

我们必须从开头删除start_time=time.time（）并将其添加到主块中。

if __name__ == "__main__" :
    n = int(input())
    start_time = time.time()
    Prime_under_num(n)
    print("Total Running time = {:.3f} seconds".format(time.time() - start_time))

因此，两种方法单独使用时的输出如下：-

# Method 1

# Total Running time = 0.00159 seconds #n = 100
# Total Running time = 0.00506 seconds #n = 1000
# Total Running time = 0.22987 seconds #n = 10000
# Total Running time = 18.55819 seconds #n = 100000

# Method 2

# Total Running time = 0.00011 seconds #n = 100
# Total Running time = 0.00118 seconds #n = 1000
# Total Running time = 0.00302 seconds #n = 10000
# Total Running time = 0.01450 seconds #n = 100000

现在我们可以看到，与错误方法相比，总运行时间有显著差异。即使方法2在两种方法中的性能优于方法1，但第一种方法（错误方法）是错误的。

在IPython中，“timeit”任何脚本：

def foo():
    %run bar.py
timeit foo()

我在很多地方都遇到了同样的问题，所以我创建了一个方便的套装占星术。你可以用pip安装钟表，然后以优雅的方式安装：

from horology import Timing

with Timing(name='Important calculations: '):
    prepare()
    do_your_stuff()
    finish_sth()

将输出：

Important calculations: 12.43 ms

或者更简单（如果你有一个功能）：

from horology import timed

@timed
def main():
    ...

将输出：

main: 7.12 h

它负责单位和舍入。它适用于python 3.6或更高版本。

Timeit是Python中的一个类，用于计算小代码块的执行时间。

Default_timer是此类中的一个方法，用于测量墙上时钟计时，而不是CPU执行时间。因此，其他进程执行可能会对此产生干扰。因此，它对小代码块很有用。

代码示例如下：

from timeit import default_timer as timer

start= timer()

# Some logic

end = timer()

print("Time taken:", end-start)

import time

start_time = time.clock()
main()
print(time.clock() - start_time, "seconds")

time.clock（）返回处理器时间，它允许我们仅计算此进程使用的时间（无论如何，在Unix上）。文档中说“无论如何，这是用于Python基准测试或计时算法的函数”

要使用metakermit对Python 2.7的更新答案，您需要单调包。

代码如下：

from datetime import timedelta
from monotonic import monotonic

start_time = monotonic()
end_time = monotonic()
print(timedelta(seconds=end_time - start_time))
