Class OperationTimer

java.lang.Object
  ewe.util.OperationTimer

public class OperationTimer

extends Object

This class can be used to time the operation of a sequence of events to millisecond precision (up to the resolution of the underlying os).

You call the start() method to start timing and the end() method to end timing. You can then call the start() method again to time another event. You can also call start() repeatedly without calling end() - a start() method will always call end() for any previously started timings.

Call getEvents() to get an array of all the event names that were timed and getTimes() to get an array of the corresponding times. Call toString() to get a list of times for each event in seconds and ms.
