Yes, time is just like a variable (this is different to the time command in unix and other systems): a:=ConstructAllGroups(10);;savedtime:=time; Within a program I would rather refer to the value of Runtime(), that is: start:=Runtime(); a:=ConstructAllPiffles(-33); total:=Runtime()-start; Best, Alexander Hulpke -- Colorado State University, Department of Mathematics, Weber Building, 1874 Campus Delivery, Fort Collins, CO 80523-1874, USA email: hul...@math.colostate.edu, Phone: ++1-970-4914288 http://www.math.colostate.edu/~hulpke _______________________________________________ Forum mailing list Forum@mail.gap-system.org http://mail.gap-system.org/mailman/listinfo/forum
