How can I use high-resolution timers in my application?

What are high-resolution timers and why should I use them?

High-resolution timers provide more precise timing than standard timers, allowing for better performance in time-sensitive applications.

How do I implement high-resolution timers in JavaScript?

You can use the performance.now() method in JavaScript, which gives you a timestamp with sub-millisecond precision.

Are there any performance considerations I should be aware of?

Yes, while high-resolution timers are more accurate, they can also introduce overhead. Use them judiciously in performance-critical sections.

Can I use high-resolution timers in other programming languages?

Absolutely! Most modern programming languages have libraries or built-in functions for high-resolution timing, like std::chrono in C++.

What are some common use cases for high-resolution timers?

Common use cases include animations, game development, and performance monitoring where precise timing is crucial.
