Subtracting time in java. - Cork - Nov 20, 2015
Doing an assignment in college which requires me to read in a start time and end time and then substract in order to get the duration time. I'm only a beginner so any help would be great.

Help? First lesson: Google knows more than the people you're asking for help.

This is really basic. Have a look at the code below. It gives you the duration in milliseconds:
Code
long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
//do your stuff
long end = System.currentTimeMillis();
long duration = end - start;* - sfdemo - Nov 20, 2015
1)read both the start and end time
2) convert them to epoch format
3) subtract them
4) divide to get the duration
