what is meant by latency?

Question

related with latency in coding..........

Answer 1

I say : hi mate
you response after 700 millisecons: hi how you doing
latency is 700 millisecond in this case

Answer 2

latency is the amount of time it takes for a signal to go from ur computer to the other computer and back, latency ping means it has good connectivity, hence since u have high ping/latency servers kik u. I dont know much about Steam but there are alot of ways to improve ping if ur playing on Garena. so if u tell me which server u play on, ill be glad to help u

Answer 3

In a computer system, latency is often used to describe any delay or the time it takes for a response.

In technical terms:
The amount of time in nanoseconds (often measured in clock cycles) between a request to read the memory, and when it is actually output. SDRAMs are typically referred to as CL2 or CL3, with CL2 parts being faster.

Answer 4

The time it takes for your computer to contact with the other, distant one, the server... It may also be referred to as Lag, the time something takes to interact with something else. It's counted in milliseconds (ms). The lowest, the better.

Answer 5

usually it is meant to be a type of timing.

latency can be the measurement of time between you and a server, in your application i believe it should be similar, perhaps the timing before and after certain events in the code?

Answer 6

inactive or dormant

Answer 7

delay?
