Display elapsed time on plot

Hi, I want to find the elapsed time it took my network training program to find the parameters NAD for each of the hidden layers. However, I accidentally cleared all my data in my workspace. what should I do to find the elapsed time?

Whenever you complete a task, record the clock.

for k=1:100
  %do stuff;
  c(k,:)=clock;
end

Hi Edna,

I understand that you want to find the elapsed time took for your network to train.

You can use the “tic” and “toc” functions for finding the elapsed time to train the network. The “tic” function is called at the beginning of your network training program, to start the timer. After the training program is completed use the “toc” function, which will stop the timer and calculate the elapsed time for the whole process.

Please refer to the following pseudo code below for better understanding:

% Start the timer 
tic; 
% Run your network training program 
% ... (your code here) ... 
% Stop the timer and get the elapsed time 
elapsedTime = toc; 
% Display the elapsed time 
fprintf('Elapsed time: %.2f seconds\n', elapsedTime); 

For more information on “tic” and “toc” function refer the link below:
