    Default Re: If statement

    No it is not possible to do that.

    But I can see what your trying to do and you can get the desired result like this:

    public class Dave {
     
        /**
         * JavaProgrammingForums.com
         */
     
        public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
     
            int sleepTime = 3500;
     
            //Thread.sleep(sleepTime);
     
            if(sleepTime > 3000){
                // Do something
            }
        }
    }

    Default Re: If statement

    I think he wants to know how long a certain thread has been sleeping for. You'll at least need 2 static/object variables I think. One to hold the Thread and another to hold the time sleep started. The Thread variable isn't entirely necessary, but is if you want to do something with that Thread (like wake it).

    import java.util.Calendar;
     
    public class Dave implements Runnable
    {
        Thread running;
        long   start;
     
        public static void main (String[] args) throws InterruptedException
        {
            new Dave().myInit();
        }
     
        public void myInit () throws InterruptedException
        {
            // run a thread to be interrupted
            running = new Thread(this);
            running.start();
            // wait for thread to go into timed waiting
            while (running.getState() != Thread.State.TIMED_WAITING)
            {
            }
            // a little delay
            try
            {
                Thread.sleep(1000);
            }
            catch (InterruptedException e)
            {
            }
            System.out.println("interrupting another thread");
            running.interrupt();
            // run a thread that will not be interrupted
            new Thread(this).start();
        }
     
        public void run ()
        {
            start = Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis();
            try
            {
                System.out.println("Sleeping");
                Thread.sleep(3000);
                System.out.println("I was not interrupted");
                System.out.println("I sleept for " + (Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis() - start));
            }
            catch (InterruptedException e)
            {
                System.out.println("I was interrupted!");
                System.out.println("I sleept for " + (Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis() - start));
            }
        }
    }
