Specify Loops and Runs In %%timeit

We commonly use the %𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗶𝘁 (or %%𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗶𝘁) magic command to measure the execution time of our code.

Here, 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗶𝘁 limits the number of runs depending on how long the script takes to execute. This is why you get to see a different number of loops (and runs) across different pieces of code.

However, if you want to explicitly define the number of loops and runs, use the -𝗻 and -𝗿 options. Use -𝗻 to specify the loops and -𝗿 for the number the runs.
