In eclipse how do you get the runtime of your program?

for my first assignment we need to get the experimental run time of our program for various input sizes but I do not know where we can find the run time of the program in eclipse If someone could help me out I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

There are methods in the System class that will return the current time.
Get the time at the start and end and subtract.

alright so i did that and got:
23465106954281 end

23465106493853 start

difference of 460428 ns. or 0.460428 milliseconds. sound good?

You were the one watching the code run. Does about 1/2 second look right?

Put in a loop that goes a million times and see how long that takes.

i meant in terms of a simple program is that a good run time but its fine it seems to be running at around .03 ms per input. in a linear fashion so i guess its good.

is that a good run time
