Method execution time not showing

Question

Im trying to measure method execution time, but it didn't show the execution time. Can anyone help me to solve the problem?

public static int SequentialSearch(int[] point, int findPoint)
{
    DateTime start = DateTime.Now;
    int i;
    for (i = 0; i < point.Length; i++)
    {
        if (findPoint== point[i])
        {
            return i;
        }
    }
    DateTime end = DateTime.Now;
    TimeSpan ts = (end - start);
    Console.WriteLine("Elapsed Time is {0} ms", ts.TotalMilliseconds);
    return -1;
}

Answer 1

There is actually a better way to do this, use StopWatch

//You need this using statement
using System.Diagnostics;
       
//Set it up, and then start it.
var timer = new Stopwatch();
timer.Start();

//Run your code
MethodToTime();

//Now stop the timer
timer.Stop();


//You can output either directly the elapsed MS
Console.WriteLine($"RunTime {timer.ElapsedMilliseconds}ms");

//Or you can get the elasped time span and output
TimeSpan ts = stopWatch.Elapsed;
string elapsedTime = String.Format("{0:00}:{1:00}:{2:00}.{3:00}",ts.Hours, ts.Minutes, ts.Seconds, ts.Milliseconds / 10);
Console.WriteLine("RunTime " + elapsedTime);
