How to measure running time of a code using MATLAB

192 views (last 30 days)
Hi. I am new in using MATLAB. I have a thesis about code optimization along with my partner. It was recommended by our adviser to use the software in order t measure the running time of the code. The code is in Java Programming Language. Now, how can I measure the running time of the code using MATLAB?

beginn your script with tic and end it with toc. At the end the Elapsed time is showed in MATLAB in seconds.

Hi Taha,
Is there a way that the elapsed time can be stored as an output? Since I am recording the outputs from matlab to an excel file, i want it to also write the elapsed time as well (instead of manually reading the time and writing it down).
