Python time.thread_time_ns() function is used to return the value of the sum of the system and user CPU time of the current thread. It is similar to time.thread_time() function. The difference is thread_time() function return the seconds of the CPU(Computer time) but thread_time_ns() function return the nano-seconds of the CPU(Computer time)
Syntax:
time.thread_time_ns()
Return:
nanoseconds of the computer time
Example 1: Python program that uses thread_time_ns() function
Python3
# import time module import time # thread_time_ns() demo print (time.thread_time_ns()) |
Output:
3633875824
Example 2: Python program that demonstrates thread_time_ns() function by sleeping some seconds
Python3
# import time module import time # thread_time_ns() demo print (time.thread_time_ns()) # sleep for 10 seconds time.sleep( 10 ) # thread_time_ns() demo print (time.thread_time_ns()) # sleep for 2 seconds time.sleep( 2 ) # thread_time_ns() demo print (time.thread_time_ns()) # sleep for 2 seconds time.sleep( 2 ) # thread_time_ns() demo print (time.thread_time_ns()) |
Output:
3616352715 3616782418 3617173584 3617551725
