— Wonderful explanation. Thanks

— 

C:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

int num () {
 return 4;
}

int main () {
 int n = 1000000;
 clock_t start = clock();

 while(n > 0) {
  num();
  n--;
 }

 clock_t diff = clock() - start;

 int ms = diff * 1000 / CLOCKS_PER_SEC;
 printf("runtime: %dms", ms);
}

— JavaScript:

"use strict";

function num () {
 return 4;
}

let n = 1000000;

console.time("runtime");

while (n > 0) {
 num();
 n--;
}

console.timeEnd("runtime");
