get elapsed time....

[Miguel Enriquez]

here my code:

public class timeelap
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
long start_time, end_time;
start_time=System.currentTimeMillis();
for (int i=0; i<10000;i++)
{
System.out.println("Hello World\n");
}
end_time=System.currentTimeMillis();
long timeelapsed = (end_time - start_time);
long milliseconds = timeelapsed % 1000;
long seconds = (timeelapsed % 1000) % 60;
long minutes = (timeelapsed % 60000) % 60;

System.out.println("Time Elapsed: "+ timeelapsed+", Start Time:"+start_time+", end Time: "+end_time+" ("+minutes+":"+seconds+":"+milliseconds+" )");
}
}


the dispaly at the end are:


Hello World

Hello World

Hello World

Time Elapsed: 3703, Start Time:1127853771781, end Time: 1127853775484 (43:43:703
)


not like me the result, so so the elapsed time are: minor than 1 second...

thanks

long timeelapsed = (end_time - start_time);
long milliseconds = timeelapsed % 1000;
long seconds = (timeelapsed % 1000) % 60;
long minutes = (timeelapsed % 60000) % 60;

Your calculations for second and minutes are incorrect. I think you used the mod operator, where you should have used division.

long mark = System.nanoTime();

... do something ...

long seconds = TimeUnit.SECONDS.convert(mark - System.nanoTime(), TimeUnit.NANOSECONDS);

I should mention: Java 5.0 using java.util.concurrent package's TimeUnit.
