HOW FAST CAN YOU TYPE????!!!!If you spend most of your time typing on your keyboard getting up to speed and practicing to become a better and faster typist is well worth the time and effort. And measuring something is the first step to improve it.
There are tons of applications which test your typing abilities and help you improve it, but wouldn’t it be nice to have a basic idea about your typing performance using nothing but good old Bash? After all, this is about DIY (Do It Yourself) approach and having fun!!!!
Measuring the typing speed means basically measuring how many words you typed in a given amount of time. One of the most popular units used is wpm (words per minute). Maybe not very accurate and scientific, but we’re aiming for a ballpark figure here so some approximate measure will be fine for our purpose. Based on this information we can write the formula as:
typing_speed_in_wpm = num_words / ( (end_time - start_time) / 60 )
