output tic/toc functions ?

Hello!

I am using tic/toc functions, the output I got values like 2,103 I expected to have a value within the range of milliseconds since I am measuring the RT. What does that value mean? Thanks in advance!

The documentation says it returns time in seconds.

I only ever use tic toc for an approximate idea of time though and usually relative some other implementation rather than as an absolute value.

timeit

is usually more accurate if you want to measure how long a function takes though.

Thanks Adam, but I don't want to measure how long a function lasts rather the time elapsing from the presentation of an stimulus and the response of the subject (pressing a button). I am not sure these tic/toc functions are the best solutions. Thanks anyway
