10In Bash, the `$SECONDS` variable is a special variable that automatically keeps
11track of the number of seconds since the current shell or script started
12executing. It starts counting from the moment the script begins running.

14```bash
15#!/bin/bash
16
17# Reset the timer to zero.
18SECONDS=0
19
20# Do something.
21sleep 5
22
23# Print the time elapsed.
24echo "Time taken: $SECONDS seconds"
