    • Method Detail

      • elapsedTime

        public double elapsedTime()
        Returns the elapsed CPU time (in seconds) since the stopwatch was created.
        Returns:
        elapsed CPU time (in seconds) since the stopwatch was created
      • main

        public static void main​(String[] args)
        Unit tests the StopwatchCPU data type. Takes a command-line argument n and computes the sum of the square roots of the first n positive integers, first using Math.sqrt(), then using Math.pow(). It prints to standard output the sum and the amount of time to compute the sum. Note that the discrete sum can be approximated by an integral - the sum should be approximately 2/3 * (n^(3/2) - 1).
        Parameters:
        args - the command-line arguments
