\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "No, seconds is the unit of measure applied to the value of each of the functions. You were pretty sparse in the amount of information you provided, but I have to assume that is the number of pixels processed by each of the algorithms. Hence, you should be calculating the number of nanoseconds required to process 10 X 10 (100) pixels for each of the algorithms and then repeat your calculations for 100 X 100 (10,000) pixels for each of the algorithms.\r
