If you have a number like 137, and you want to know how many digits it is composed: var number = 137; var nbrOfDigits = Math.Floor(Math.Log10(number) + 1); //nbrOfDigits = 3    

So let’s say you have a few operations to run and it takes a while to finish the execution. You would like to know which step is taking so long and how to improve the performance of the application. First, you could simply put a break point in each methods, but what if you want […]
