ObPuzzle: Which of the `return' statements below is the best,
and why?
#include <time.h>
/**
* Find how many CPU seconds were consumed between
* two values returned by clock().
*/
double cpuSeconds(clock_t t0, clock_t t1) {
/* A */ return (t1 - t0) / CLOCKS_PER_SEC;
/* B */ return (t1 - t0) / (double) CLOCKS_PER_SEC;
/* C */ return (t1 - t0) / (CLOCKS_PER_SEC + 0.0);
}
