Timing function execution

In Node.js, it's crucial to measure the execution time of your code, especially when dealing with time-consuming operations or performance-critical tasks. This ensures that your application runs efficiently and helps you identify potential bottlenecks for optimization. To achieve this, Node.js provides the console.time() and console.timeEnd() functions, allowing you to precisely measure how long a specific portion of your code takes to execute.

+# Timing Function Execution in Node.js
+
+You can check the runtime of a function in Node.js by using the `console.time()` and `console.timeEnd()` functions. Here's an example with an explanation:
+
+    ```javascript
+    function myFunction() {
+      console.log("Function started");
+      
+      // Start the timer
+      console.time("myFunction");
+    
+      // Simulate some time-consuming task
+      for (let i = 0; i < 1000000000; i++) {
+        // Do some work
+      }
+    
+      // End the timer
+      console.timeEnd("myFunction");
+    
+      console.log("Function ended");
+    }
+    
+    myFunction();
+
+
+## In this example:
+
+- We use `console.log` to print a message indicating the start of the function.
+- We start a timer named "myFunction" using `console.time("myFunction")`.
+- We simulate a time-consuming task by running a loop.
+- After the loop is finished, we end the timer using `console.timeEnd("myFunction")`.
+- Finally, we use `console.log` to print a message indicating the end of the function.
+
+```javaScript 
+    Function started
+    myFunction: 5431.709ms
+    Function ended
+
+The time in milliseconds (ms) represents the runtime of the function `myFunction`. You can use this approach to measure the runtime of specific parts of your code to identify performance bottlenecks or optimize your code.
