Stopwatch function in Julia -

in matlab, there pair of functions tic , toc can used start , stop stopwatch timer. example taken link:

tic = rand(12000, 4400); b = rand(12000, 4400); toc c = a'.*b'; toc 

i aware there macro @time in julia has similar functionality.

julia> @time [sin(cos(i)) in 1:100000]; elapsed time: 0.00721026 seconds (800048 bytes allocated) 

is there set of similar functions in julia? @time macro works timing statements can written in 1 or 2 lines. longer portions of code, prefer use tic-toc functions.

i don't know why hadn't thought of trying tic() , toc().

from search of julia documentation

tic()

set timer read next call toc() or toq(). macro call @time expr can used time evaluation.
