Hello all<br />
I have a little java program that goes out to the web and comes back with some info, and I'd like to time how long it takes - from the time I start the program, until it exits, having retrieved the data.<br />
I'm hoping I can just add a few lines into my simple program, maybe getting the system time at the beginning and end of the main function, but I don't know how, so that's what the points are for - &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Simple code to time the execution of a simple program?

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
