<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.

Versions 17 and later

This function is now available for iPhone/iPad applications.

New in version 17

Example

MyChrono1 is Chrono
MyChrono2 is Chrono
// Start the first stopwatch
MyChrono1.Start()
// Start the second stopwatch
MyChrono2.Start()
// Stop the first stopwatch
DurationChronoStart is Duration = MyChrono1.End()
MyFunction()
// Stop the second stopwatch
DurationChronoStart is Duration = MyChrono2.End()
Info("The MyFunction() process lasted " + DurationMyFunction, ...
"The whole process lasted " + DurationChronoStart)

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.
