# Running Time
Find how long it has been since the program started in milli-seconds.
```sig
input.runningTime();
```
## Returns
* the [Number](/types/number) of milliseconds since the program started.
(One second is 1000 milliseconds.)
## Example: elapsed time
When you press button `B` on the microbit, this
program finds the number of milliseconds since the program started
and shows it on the [LED screen](/device/screen).
```blocks
input.onButtonEvent(Button.B, ButtonEvent.Click, () => {
let now = input.runningTime()
basic.showNumber(now)
})
```
