# timeTaken

Canonical: https://www.wiki.jodisand.me/snippets/javascript/timetaken/


Measures the time it takes for a function to execute.

- Use `Console.time()` and `Console.timeEnd()` to measure the difference between the start and end times to determine how long the callback took to execute.

```js
const timeTaken = callback => {
  console.time('timeTaken');
  const r = callback();
  console.timeEnd('timeTaken');
  return r;
};
```

```js
timeTaken(() => Math.pow(2, 10)); // 1024, (logged): timeTaken: 0.02099609375ms
```
