tic toc function

Hello there,

Is it possible just to get the "time" for the toc in seconds (i.e. 23.105489)
instead of the whole statement of "Elapsed time is 23.105489 seconds".

I need to have the value of the elapsed time in excel sheet, unfortunately,
excel sheet does not seem to read String/character.

Please advise.

Hi,

If you read

>> help toc or

>>doc toc

you will see that

Telapsed=toc;
saves the time in T as a double.

one of the solutions

     tic;
for i=1:100000
     rand;
end
     t=toc; % no display
     disp(t);
% 0.0088784
