clock cycle?

Is there a way to count clock cycles for an algorithm such as getting the clock value before the algorithm and getting again at the end and finding the difference?

Yes.

Try

long beginningTime = System.currentTimeMillis();

//*****************

RUN YOUR ALGORITHM

//*****************

long finishedTime = System.currentTimeMillis();

long difference = finishedTime - beginningTime;

Here is where I found the method.

well its returning 0 as of now. is there any reason the times would be the same?

Perhaps the algorithm isn't a complex algorithm?Would you mind posting the code?I tried the code I gave you and it seemed to work fine.

well i moved the code into my main method that calls the algorithm, that solved the problem since i had put it in the class that contained the method with the algorithm.thanks
