How to calculate execution / elapsed time Java 8?


This page shows examples on how to calculate execution or elapsed time to perform some task using Java 8 new date and time API. We are calculating execution / elapsed time in both milli seconds and seconds.

Instant.now().toEpochMilli() method gives current time in milli seconds.

Instant.now().getEpochSecond() method gives current time in seconds.

CalcElapsedTimeEx
package com.java2novice.datetime;

import java.time.Instant;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

public class CalcElapsedTimeEx {

	public static void main(String a[]) {

		// calculate elapsed time in milli seconds
		Long startTime = Instant.now().toEpochMilli();
		try {
			// do your business logic here
			doYourBusinessLogic();
		} catch (InterruptedException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		Long endTime = Instant.now().toEpochMilli();
		Long elapsedTime = endTime - startTime;
		System.out.println("Elapsed time in milli seconds: "+elapsedTime);

		// calculate elapsed time in seconds
		Long stTimeInSec = Instant.now().getEpochSecond();
		try {
			// do your business logic here
			doYourBusinessLogic();
		} catch (InterruptedException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		Long endTimeInSec = Instant.now().getEpochSecond();

		elapsedTime = endTimeInSec - stTimeInSec;
		System.out.println("Elapsed time in seconds: "+elapsedTime);
	}

	private static void doYourBusinessLogic() throws InterruptedException {

		TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(3);
	}
}

Output:
Elapsed time in milli seconds: 3004
Elapsed time in seconds: 3

Procedural Vs Object-oriented Programs
In procedural program, programming logic follows certain procedures and the instructions are executed one after another. In OOP program, unit of program is object, which is nothing but combination of data and code.

In procedural program, data is exposed to the whole program whereas in OOPs program, it is accessible with in the object and which in turn assures the security of the code.
