Measuring how long a function takes to execute is a common requirement when you want to optimize your code or simply understand its performance. In Python, the `time` module provides functions for working with time-related tasks. When creating a timing decorator, you can use `time.time()` to record the current time before the function runs and again after it finishes. By subtracting the start time from the end time, you obtain the elapsed time, which you can then print or log. This technique is especially useful for benchmarking or profiling your code without modifying the original function logic.
