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]

1)read both the start and end time
2) convert them to epoch format
3) subtract them
4) divide to get the duration

get your start time and subtract it from your endtime?
