How to time a user input

I'm relatively new to matlab and am struggling to find a means to use a timer to measure the time it takes for a user to type their input in. I've looked at using "tic toc" with no luck and sinestream. Would very muchappreciate any hints or pointers cheers!

Answer 1

tic;
I = input('User Type Value');
h = toc;

Here h is the amount of time taken by the user to type the value.

Thank you very much for your help but i should have been clearer in my question, i need the timer to start as soon as the user begins to type. Do you have any ideas how to do this? Thanks again!
