 		 #164404 - instruction execution cycle/time in C language
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Benny Goh said:
Unlike assembly language, i dont know the way to count the instruction execution cycle/time in C language.

That's because 'C' is not like assembly!

In assembly, you get exactly one processor instruction per source instruction;

In 'C' (or any other High-Level Language, for that matter) you have absolutely no guarantee whatsoever as to how the compiler might choose to implement the source code!

                                          So, the stepper is running all the time?            01/01/70 00:00
