+In Bash, the `$SECONDS` variable is a special variable that automatically keeps
+track of the number of seconds since the current shell or script started
+executing. It starts counting from the moment the script begins running.
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+# Reset the timer to zero.
+SECONDS=0
+
+# Do something.
+sleep 5
+
+# Print the time elapsed.
+echo "Time taken: $SECONDS seconds"
+```
