Elapsed event time using RTC

Rude? Wrong word choice. Lazy might be a better option. LOL

here is the snippet that got me there:

//void time_elapse() //--(For cycle only)--
{
  DateTime now = rtc.now();
  timeStart = ((now.hour() * 60 * 60) + (now.minute() * 60) + now.second()); //--(Convert time to seconds)--

  if (timeElapse1 == 0)
 {
    elapsetime = timeStart; //--(Save variable for calculation on first call of function)--
    timeElapse1 = 1; //--(toggle elapse time variable to stop cycle timer on next function call)--
    return;
  }

  if (timeElapse1 == 1)
  {
    elapsetime = timeStart - elapsetime; //--(calculate in seconds how long a piece of code took to run)--
    lcd.setCursor(11, 1);
    lcd.write("Cycle=");
    lcd.print(elapsetime);
    lcd.write("s");
    timeElapse1 = 0; //--(toggle elapse time variable to start cycle timer on next function call)--
    elapsetime = 0; //--(zero out variable for next use)--
    return;
  }

}

Hope this is helpful
