I need to measure time elapsed in seconds, like this:
auto start = Clock.currStdTime();
// some stuff
auto stop = Clock.currStdTime();
auto duration = (stop-start)/10000000;
This works, but I wonder if there is something better that using the
magic constant 10000000. I read about 10.secs giving the duration of 10
seconds, but I don't understand how to adapt this to my case. I've read
the documentation of core.time, std.datetime (and the Introduction to
this package) but I can't make head or tail of it.
PS: It's not about benchmarking. I'd like to show the user the time
elapsed.
doesn't it work for you?
```
void main()
{
import std.datetime, core.thread, std.stdio;
MonoTime before = MonoTime.currTime;
Thread.sleep(dur!"msecs"(1000));
MonoTime after = MonoTime.currTime;
Duration timeElapsed = after - before;
writeln(timeElapsed);
}
```
I get: "1 sec, 26 μs, and 4 hnsecs"
