Java Program to Calculate the Execution Time of Methods
In this example, we will learn to calculate the execution time of normal methods and recursive methods in Java.
Example 1: Java Program to calculate the method execution time
class Main{
// create a method
public void display(){
System.out.println("Calculating Method execution time:");
}
// main method
public static void main(String[] args){
// create an object of the Main class
Main obj = new Main();
// get the start time
long start = System.nanoTime();
// call the method
obj.display();
// get the end time
long end = System.nanoTime();
// execution time
long execution = end - start;
System.out.println("Execution time: " + execution + " nanoseconds");
}
}
Output
Calculating Method execution time: Execution time: 656100 nanoseconds
In the above example, we have created a method named display()
. The method prints a statement to the console. The program calculates the execution time of the method display()
.
Here, we have used the method nanoTime()
of the System
class. The nanoTime()
method returns the current value of the running JVM in nanoseconds.
Example 2: Calculate the execution time of Recursive method
class Main{
// create a recursive method
public int factorial( int n ){
if (n != 0) // termination condition
return n * factorial(n-1); // recursive call
else
return 1;
}
// main method
public static void main(String[] args){
// create object of Main class
Main obj = new Main();
// get the start time
long start = System.nanoTime();
// call the method
obj.factorial(128);
// get the end time
long end = System.nanoTime();
// execution time in seconds
long execution = (end - start);
System.out.println("Execution time of Recursive Method is");
System.out.println(execution + " nanoseconds");
}
}
Output
Execution time of Recursive Method is 18600 nanoseconds
In the above example, we are calculating the execution time of recursive method named factorial()
.

Two Machine Learning Fields
There are two sides to machine learning:
- Practical Machine Learning:This is about querying databases, cleaning data, writing scripts to transform data and gluing algorithm and libraries together and writing custom code to squeeze reliable answers from data to satisfy difficult and ill defined questions. It’s the mess of reality.
- Theoretical Machine Learning: This is about math and abstraction and idealized scenarios and limits and beauty and informing what is possible. It is a whole lot neater and cleaner and removed from the mess of reality.
