Maxima Function

Calling Sequence

time (%o1, %o2, %o3, ...)

Description

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.
