Question

hi
i want a block of code(certain lines of a function) that will run for a stipulated amount of time (say x milliseconds).Is is possible to do this in java?

Answer 1

1st approach:

long startTime = System.nanoTime();
while(System.nanoTime() - startTime < MAX_TIME_IN_NANOSECONDS){
   // your code ...
}

2nd approach

Start your code in thread.

Sleep main thread for as long as you need.

Kill (stop, interrupt) your thread.
