jupyter lab: time magic

Jupyterlab is an amazing environment to play around in. There are some features that can make the experience even better. A collection of them will be demonstrated here.

Remember that typically a jupyter magic has either a single % or two %%. If there is a single percentage symbol, like in %time then it will be applied as if it was a one-liner. While if there are two, like in %%timeit then the magic will look in the entire cell.

Remember that %timeit is more accurate but takes much longer because it will run the code many times as opposed to the %time method which will only run it once.
