Units for Tic/Toc?

Hi all,

I would just like to verify that the units for tic/toc are always in seconds. If I run something for multiple days, will it still read an answer in seconds (e.g. 6 days, 4 hours ~ 532800 seconds)? I would prefer not to test this one out.

Thanks!

According the the documentation, yes. (I’ve not tried it myself, either.) I did use clock and etime when I ran simulations that ran all night, and they accumulated accurately over several hours, so if you have any doubts, use them.

You can get the days-hours-minutes-seconds using the regular date functions:

TotalTime = datevec(datenum([0 0 0 0 0 532800]));
