    CL103 - Computer Programming - Lab # ## (Timing& Delay Practice)

    Uploaded by

    Mohsan Naqi
    This document outlines the objectives and instructions for a computer programming lab on timing and delay functions. The lab covers using the Windows Sleep function to create delays, measuring computational costs by getting start and finish times of loops, and using time and date functions to get the operating system time and date. Students are instructed to work independently, not discuss solutions, and submit all completed tasks.
