How to use time module in Python?


The time module in Python provides various time-related functions. Here’s how you can use it:

First, you have to import the time module using the following code:

```
import time
```

1. Getting the current time:

```
current_time = time.time()
print(current_time)
```
The `time()` function returns the number of seconds passed since epoch. For Unix system, January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 at UTC is epoch (the point where time begins).

1. Converting a time expressed in seconds since the epoch to a struct\_time in UTC:

```
current_structure_time = time.gmtime()
print(current_structure_time)
```

1. Local time:

```
local_time = time.localtime()
print(local_time)
```
The `localtime()` function takes the number of seconds passed since epoch as an argument and returns struct\_time in local time.

1. Formatting time:

```
formatted_time = time.asctime(time.localtime())
print(formatted_time)
```
The `asctime()` function takes struct\_time (or a tuple representing it) as an argument and returns a string representing it.

1. Creating a timer:

```
start = time.time()

  1. some code here
    end = time.time()
    print(f’Time: {end – start}’)
    ```

1. Sleep:
The `sleep()` function suspends (delays) execution of the current thread for the given number of seconds.

```
print(“This is printed immediately.”)
time.sleep(2.4)
print(“This is printed after 2.4 seconds.”)
```

Remember, the time module in Python mainly deals with seconds since epoch.
