 +=== Description ===
 +
 +The clock() function returns the processor time since the program started, or -1 if that information is unavailable.\\
 +To convert the return value to seconds, divide it by CLOCKS_PER_SEC. (Note: if your compiler is POSIX compliant, then CLOCKS_PER_SEC is always defined as 1000000.)
