**  DESCRIPTION :  The clock function returns the current processor time. *
**                 To determine the time in seconds, the value returned   *
**                 by the clock function should be divided by the value   *
**                 of the macro CLOCKS_PER_SEC, defined in <time.h>.      * 
**                                                                        *
