timeit
Measure time required to run function.
📝Syntax
t = timeit(f)
t = timeit(f, nLhs)
t = timeit(f, nLhs, x1, ..., xm)
📥Input Arguments
Parameter Description
f Function handle: Function to run.
nLhs integer value: number of output arguments. (1: default)
x1, ..., xm Input arguments, specified as a comma-separated list of variables or expressions.
📤Output Arguments

t time (in seconds).
📄Description

t = timeit(f) measures the time elapsed required to run the function specified by the function handle f.

To perform a robust measurement, timeit calls function multiple times and returns the median of the measurements.

If the function runs fast, timeit might call the function many times.

💡Examples
f = str2func('@()sleep(6)');
tic();t = timeit(f), toc()
X = rand(100);
f = str2func('@(X) svd(X);');
tic(), t1 = timeit(f, 1, X), toc()
tic(), t2 = timeit(f, 3, X), toc()
