If you learn the front-end for a certain period of time, you will consider performance issues. So the question is, how do we calculate the running time of a piece of code? This article mainly shares with you how to use the console to calculate the code running time in js. I hope it can help you.

Use console.log to calculate with Date object

For example, if we calculate how long it takes for the sort method to sort an array of 100,000 random numbers, we can write like this:

        var arr = [];        for(var i=0; i<100000; i++){
            arr.push(Math.random());
        }        var beginTime = +new Date();
        arr.sort();        var endTime = +new Date();
        console.log("排序用时共计"+(endTime-beginTime)+"ms");

Finally, the console will display:

排序用时共计552ms

Below, a more flexible and accurate method will be introduced.

Use console.time for time calculation

This method is more accurate than the previous one and is specially generated for performance:
Test case:

        var arr = [];
        for(var i=0; i<100000; i++){
            arr.push(Math.random());
        }
        console.time("sort");
        arr.sort();
        console.timeEnd("sort");

The console will print out:

sort: 542.668701171875ms

This method writes console.time at the beginning of the test and passes a string in brackets. Use the console.timeEnd method at the end and pass in the string again.
Personally recommend the second way.
