Should I use tic and toc or something else?

I have an optimization problem and two different methods to solve them. I want to compare these two methods in point of time ( which one can find the answer quickly). So tic and toc are the right answers to measure this kind of time?

If the two take notably different times then tic and toc are probably enough. If the times are close and fairly short then you would want to use timeit()

Thank you so much, sir.
