Class Timer


  • public class Timer
    extends java.lang.Object
    Helps measure how much time is spent running some methods. The start() and stop() methods should typically be called in a try/finally clause with start() being called right before the try block and stop() being called at the beginning of the finally block:
      timer.start();
      try {
        // code to time
      } finally {
        timer.stop();
      }
