local start = love.timer.getTime() -- Concatenate "bar" 1000 times. local foo = "" for _ = 1, 1000 do foo = foo .. "bar" end -- Resulting time difference in seconds. Multiplying it by 1000 gives us the value in milliseconds. local result = love.timer.getTime() - start print( string.format( "It took %.3f milliseconds to concatenate 'bar' 1000 times!", result * 1000 ))
