decrease int value whenever a minute passes

[Sanjul Jain]

Hello!

I am a newbie to java and shall greatly appreciate your help.

I have an array of capacity 10 with values say {0,3,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0}

the values in array, which are not zero, need to be decremented to 0. e.g. 3 needs to be decremented to 0. the criteria for decreasing value of 3 is that 3 should decrement by 1, after 1 minute of system time, until 3 is 0, and the value of 3 should be replaced by 0, in the array.


Thanks in advance,
Sanjul

What code do you have to do this?

Are the numbers supposed to be decreased one at a time, or all at once?
That is , does the array {1, 2, 3} go to {0, 2, 3} or to {0, 1, 2}?

Possibly the simplest way it to sleep the thread. Otherwise, you may need to use some sort of timer.

Post what code you have, and we'll see if we can help.
