Thank you Alexander

 You could also put the call to system.time inside the function itself:

 f = function(x) {
system.time({
... #function's code
ret_val = ...
}); flush.console();
return ret_val;
 }

 i s'pose you'd miss out on the time taken to jump to the function code,
 return the value, etc, but for functions that are heavy at all, that
 wouldn't trip you up.

   Ah ha. That explains the curly brackets I saw in a posting with
  system.time on stack overflow just now:
 
   system.time({y=f(x)})
 
   works as expected since the {} pair make a new code block. Also you

   system.time({y=f(x);z=g(y)})

Re: [R] timing a function

2010-05-18 Thread Gustave Lefou
Dear all,

Just one last question. There seems to be no problem in writing

 z = system.time(y - f(x))

or

 z - system.time(y - f(x))

Then z contains the named vector of the elapsed times, and y the value of
the function f(x).

Am I right ?

Thank you very much,
Gustave

Re: [R] timing a function

2010-05-17 Thread Gustave Lefou
Dear all,

I have a function f(x).
 ptm - proc.time()
 y=f(x)
 proc.time() - ptm

works fine for me.

However it is not possible to write

 system.time(y=f(x))

and

 system.time(f(x))

does not store the value of f(x).

Should I prefer the 3 lines with proc.time ?

Thank you very much,
Gustave
