class Timer:
    """Timer object can be used to measure (average) time between events.

    Args:
        average: if True, then when ``.value()`` method is called, the returned value
            will be equal to total time measured, divided by the value of internal counter.

    Attributes:
        total (float): total time elapsed when the Timer was running (in seconds).
        step_count (int): internal counter, useful to measure average time, e.g. of processing a single batch.
            Incremented with the ``.step()`` method.
        running (bool): flag indicating if timer is measuring time.

    Note:
        When using ``Timer(average=True)`` do not forget to call ``timer.step()`` every time an event occurs. See
        the examples below.

    Examples:
        Measuring total time of the epoch:

        .. code-block:: python

            from ignite.handlers import Timer
            import time
            work = lambda : time.sleep(0.1)
            idle = lambda : time.sleep(0.1)
            t = Timer(average=False)
            for _ in range(10):
                work()
                idle()

            t.value()
            # 2.003073937026784

        Measuring average time of the epoch:

        .. code-block:: python

            t = Timer(average=True)
            for _ in range(10):
                work()
                idle()
                t.step()

            t.value()
            # 0.2003182829997968

        Measuring average time it takes to execute a single ``work()`` call:

        .. code-block:: python

            t = Timer(average=True)
            for _ in range(10):
                t.resume()
                work()
                t.pause()
                idle()
                t.step()

            t.value()
            # 0.10016545779653825

        Using the Timer to measure average time it takes to process a single batch of examples:

        .. code-block:: python

            from ignite.engine import Engine, Events
            from ignite.handlers import Timer

            trainer = Engine(training_update_function)
            timer = Timer(average=True)
            timer.attach(
                trainer,
                start=Events.STARTED,
                resume=Events.ITERATION_STARTED,
                pause=Events.ITERATION_COMPLETED,
