function tic
%TIC Start a stopwatch timer.
%   TIC and TOC functions work together to measure elapsed time.
%   TIC saves the current time that TOC uses later to measure
%   the elapsed time. The sequence of commands:
%   
%             TIC
%             operations
%             TOC
%
%   measures the amount of time MATLAB takes to complete the one
%   or more operations specified here by "operations" and displays
%   the time in seconds.
%
%   See also TOC, CPUTIME.
