Could you explain what the code do?

time <some command> - does what you want, return elapsed times
find / -name 'host*' - searches for all filenames on the system that start with "host"

Is there any way to find a execution time of a shell script which have number of commands?

If you're asking what I think you are, it's time ./shell-script.sh

Or if you're asking for something that tells how many commands the shell script has executed, only the shell script knows.
