running Time Micros
Find how long a program has run since it was started, in microseconds.
input.runningTimeMicros()
Running time maximum count
The program running time counter can only count up to approximately 17 minutes of time (1,073,741,823 microseconds). After that, the running time will reset to zero and start counting up again.
Programs using the time counter should take this reset into account, even if they are only measuring short durations. The counter might reset while the program is running.
Example
Pause for one second and then show the program running time on the screen.
basic.pause(1000)
basic.showNumber(input.runningTimeMicros())
Returns
- the number of microseconds since the program started.
(One second is 1,000,000 microseconds.)
