How can I implement high-resolution timers in Python?

You can use the time module's perf_counter() function for high-resolution timing. It provides the highest available resolution.

Can you show me a simple example of using perf_counter()?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

import time

start_time = time.perf_counter()
# Your code here
end_time = time.perf_counter()
print(f'Time taken: {end_time - start_time} seconds')

What if I need to measure time in a loop?

You can call perf_counter() at the start and end of each iteration. Here's an example:

for i in range(5):
    start_time = time.perf_counter()
    # Your code here
    end_time = time.perf_counter()
    print(f'Iteration {i}: {end_time - start_time} seconds')

Are there any other libraries for high-resolution timing?

Yes, you can also use the timeit module, which is specifically designed for timing small code snippets.
