Timer

So i want to know how many milliseconds it will take to complete an function, how i could do that?

You call TimerInit before you call your function. Then after you call your function call TimerDiff.

$timer = TimerInit()
; do your code here
$time_it_took = TimerDiff($timer)

Thanks, but someone said that C++ would be faster than autoit with same function, is it true? (dont understand c++)

Yes, C++ will be faster (depending on the function).

Will this script be faster?

$timer = TimerInit()
    FilewriteLine("Output.txt","test")
    $time_it_took = TimerDiff($timer)
    Msgbox(0,"lol",$time_it_took)

And can you also convert this to c++ so i could test it by myself

[cppman]

Generally speaking, no matter what you do, C++ will be faster simply because it doesn't have to interpret your code.

__int64 start, finish, freq;
    QueryPerformanceFrequency((LARGE_INTEGER *)&freq);
    QueryPerformanceCounter((LARGE_INTEGER *)&start);
    // start time
        
    // I didn't feel like using the windows api, it may be faster - it's too much work
    std::fstream file("output.txt", std::ios::out);
    file << "test";
    file.close();

    // end time
    QueryPerformanceCounter((LARGE_INTEGER *)&finish);
    float diff = (((float)finish - start) / (float)freq * 1000.0f);

    std::cout << diff << "ms";
    std::cin.get();

EDIT

Yes, I agree with monoceres. Take his advice.

I strongly suggest that you learn some c++ before digging into this.

Because I seriously doubt that you will be able to understand the process of modifying c++ code -> setting up a compiler environment -> compiling the code into a usable dll file -> calling the dll in autoit with data types, when you don't even know what c++ is

And if you don't even know what you are doing then the process is totally useless as you will need assistance for every step you take.

ive heard that when u put some autoit files in the project, then u can use AU3_ to use autoit in the c++ script, will it be faster then? And are there any autoIT > c++ conveters? Thanks

You can use the AutoIt ActiveX object, but that seems rather pointless to me. And no, there aren't any AutoIt to C++ converters.
