# 测试一段代码的运行时间，可以用 timeit 模块
"""
timeit 模块中主要函数有两个：
1. timeit(stmt=‘pass‘, setup=‘pass‘, timer=<defaulttimer>, number=1000000)
    返回：
            返回执行stmt这段代码number遍所用的时间，单位为秒，float型

       参数：
            stmt：要执行的那段代码

            setup：执行代码的准备工作，不计入时间，一般是import之类的

            timer：这个在win32下是time.clock()，linux下是time.time()，默认的，不用管

            number：要执行stmt多少遍
            
2. repeat(stmt=‘pass‘, setup=‘pass‘, timer=<defaulttimer>, repeat=3, number=1000000)
    这个函数比timeit函数多了一个repeat参数而已，表示重复执行timeit这个过程多少遍，返回一个列表，表示执行每遍的时间；repeat默认为3
