Maxima Function
time (%o1, %o2, %o3, ...)
Returns a list of the times, in seconds, taken to compute the output
lines %o1
, %o2
, %o3
, .... The time returned is Maxima's estimate of
the internal computation time, not the elapsed time. time
can only
be applied to output line variables; for any other variables, time
returns unknown
.
Set showtime: true
to make Maxima print out the computation time
and elapsed time with each output line.
