<Chrono>.End (Function)

In french: <Chrono>.Fin

Stops a stopwatch and returns the time elapsed (in milliseconds) since the start of timing (call to <Chrono>.Start). This stopwatch can be restarted by <Chrono>.Resume if necessary.

New in version 2025

Variables of type Chrono are now available in browser code. The syntax for handling Chrono variables also becomes available.

Example

MonChrono1 is Chrono
MonChrono2 is Chrono
// Démarrage du premier chronomètre 
MonChrono1.Start()
// Démarrage du second chronomètre 
MonChrono2.Start()
// Arrêt premier chronomètre
DuréeChronoDébut is Duration = MonChrono1.End()
MaFonction()
// Arrêt du second chronomètre
DuréeMaFonction is Duration = MonChrono2.End()
Info("Le traitement MaFonction() a duré " + DuréeMaFonction, ...
	"Le traitement complet a duré " + DuréeChronoDébut)

Syntax

Stopping the timing started with a Chrono variable Hide the details

<Result> = <Stopwatch>.End()

<Result>: Duration

Time elapsed (in milliseconds) since the last call to <Chrono>.Start for the specified stopwatch.

<Stopwatch>: Chrono variable

Name of the Chrono variable that corresponds to the stopwatch to use.

Remarks

Miscellaneous

If <Chrono>.End is called twice on the same stopwatch without <Chrono>.Start being called, the returned duration will be identical for the two calls (the stopwatch is stopped during the first call to <Chrono>.End).

Error

A WLanguage error occurs ("The stopwatch is not started") if <Chrono>.Start was not called before <Chrono>.End.

Threads and parallel tasks

Each thread (and each parallel task) includes its own stopwatches.

Two distinct threads (or two distinct parallel tasks) can perform separate timings by using the same stopwatch number.

The WLanguage error "The stopwatch is not started" will occur only if <Chrono>.Start and <Chrono>.End are not called in the same thread.
