Coldfusion has a great function called “gettickcount()” which basically gives you the current time in milliseconds. This is a great function to time code. Look at the example below:
<cfset stime = getTickCount()>
<!— All my code to time here —>
<cfloop from=“1″ to=“100″ index=“i”>
<cfoutput>testing #i#</cfoutput>
<!— Make a call here —>
</cfloop>
<cfset totalTime = getTickCount() – stime>
<cfoutput>The total time of execution for the code was: #totalTime#</cfoutput>
<!— All my code to time here —>
<cfloop from=“1″ to=“100″ index=“i”>
<cfoutput>testing #i#</cfoutput>
<!— Make a call here —>
</cfloop>
<cfset totalTime = getTickCount() – stime>
<cfoutput>The total time of execution for the code was: #totalTime#</cfoutput>
This utility is great. The question is, how do I do this in Java?? Well very simple, we use the System class. The following is a simple snippet of how to time in java.
double stime = System.currentTimeMillis();
//My Code Here
for(int i=0;i< 1000; i++){
System.out.println(i);
}
double TotalTime = System.currentTimeMillis() – stime;
//Display Total Time
System.out.println(“Total Time of Execution: “ + TotalTime + “ms.”);
//My Code Here
for(int i=0;i< 1000; i++){
System.out.println(i);
}
double TotalTime = System.currentTimeMillis() – stime;
//Display Total Time
System.out.println(“Total Time of Execution: “ + TotalTime + “ms.”);
There you go!! Now you can time your java code.
