Thread: How to put a timer?!?

Hey guys, i already found it out myself the last thread that means it was solved. But my problem now is how to put a timer in that code. I know that i am a newbie at this but i really love programming. I wanna learn new things. Well, here's the updated code from yesterday:

import java.util.Random;
import java.util.Scanner;
 
public class Easy {
 
    public static void main (String []args){
 
        String words[]={"Love", "Hate", "Truth", "Happy", "Pressure", "Burp", "Vampire"
        , "Surf", "Believe", "Slime", "Dream", "Religion", "Rhythm", "Disco", "Honey",
        "Star", "Armies", "Zombie", "Heart", "Break", "Docks", "Multiply", "Mace", "Moustache"
        , "Wizards", "Sports", "Blind", "Riddle", "Business", "School", "Blood", "Promenade",

        "Dangerous", "Skunk", "House", "Wives", "Flashlight", "Console", "Awesome", "Scared",
        "Hormones", "Promise", "Angel", "Baggage", "Duck", "Destroy", "Tissue", "Ketchup",
        "Picture", "Basket", "Basketball", "Fan", "Dough", "Thief", "Female", "Family", "Normal",
        "Wireless", "Empty", "Cycles", "Banana", "Eggplant", "Samba", "Jumble", "Flush", "Beach",
        "Driver", "Queen", "Mommy", "Fade", "Kitten", "Spring", "Interest", "Debts", "Horse",
        "Tomorrow", "Discount", "Faithful", "Midnight", "Epic", "Calendar", "Roses", "Funeral",
        "Badminton", "Spirit", "Water", "Pizza", "Science", "Cabinet", "Apple", "Television",
        "Profile", "Wine", "Sedan", "Luxury", "Firewall", "Computer", "Tablet", "Giraffe", "Ring",
        "Shut", "Vision", "World", "War", "High", "School", "Fantasy", "Warfare", "Incognito",
        "Loading", "Penguins", "Fright", "Night", "Diary", "Mega", "Submit", "Hold", "Statue",
        "Boat", "Mobile", "Invisible", "Visible", "Ground", "Space", "Dragon", "Spade", "Clover",
        "Senior", "Junior", "Sophomore", "Freshman", "Twilight", "Dawn", "Eclipse", "Moon",
        "Hair", "Spray", "Camp", "Jazz", "Rock", "Eggs", "Hustle"};
 
       Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in); 
       Random a = new Random();
       int roll = a.nextInt(149);
       String type = "";
       String reply = "yes";
       int error = 0;
 
       System.out.println(words[roll]);
 
    while (!reply.equalsIgnoreCase("no")){
    	if (!reply.equalsIgnoreCase("yes"))
    		System.out.println("Yes and No are the only acceptable answers");
 
    	else {
    		System.out.println("Type the word");
 
 
 
 
    		while (!type.equals(words[roll])){
    			type = sc.next();
    			try {
    				if (!type.equals(words[roll])){
    					System.out.println("Type again");
    					error++;
    					}
    				else {
    					if (!type.equals(words[roll]))
    					System.out.println("next word");
 
    				}
 
    			}catch(Exception e){
 
    				System.out.println("lallalala");
    			}
 
    		}
    	}
    	type = "";
		System.out.println("Would you like to play again? Yes/No");
		reply = sc.nextLine();
		roll = a.nextInt(149);
 
 
 
    }
    System.out.println("Thank you for playing");
    }
}

Advanced Thank You Guys!

What have you tried so far?

The timer will time the game and at the end of the time, the game should stop too and it will display the score. I'm only asking about the timer

Are you trying to get the duration of the game? The System class has a method that returns the current time. Get the time at the start and the time at the end and subtract to get the duration.

am i still gonna import swing timer?

Java Platform SE 6

Thanks for your help!!!
