If you need compilation time of the C program you can use the time command in linux environment .

time cc testing.c

But inside a program we can only get the run time by some of the time calculations.We can not get the compilation time.

time will give its output in seconds and micro seconds . It will give three kind of times real,user,system.Here the real time the execution time.user and system time depends on the kernal.

real 0m0.003s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.004s

The code which I execute took lesser than 0 second.Which means in a few milli seconds .
