how to do this?

Question

how can i limit the time that the user can give input to the Scanner in this code?
i mean that when 25 second (25000 millis) are over the user can't give input anymore and the game ends (program ends by writting: return;).
you cant run the code on SoloLearn... (won't work).

https://code.sololearn.com/ce0vyM1ZGkR8

writen code:

import java.util.*;
public class Main
{
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {

String[] randomWords = {"run" , "block" , "java" , "code" , "time"};
Random r = new Random();
String myRandomWord = randomWords[r.nextInt(5)];

System.out.println("In 10 seconds There will be a countDown, the system will give you a word and you will need to type it as fast as you can!");
Thread.sleep(10000);

System.out.println("3");
Thread.sleep(1000);
System.out.println("2");
Thread.sleep(1000);
System.out.println("1");
Thread.sleep(1000);
System.out.println("GO!!!");

System.out.println("Your word is : " + myRandomWord);

long countTimeStart = System.currentTimeMillis();

Scanner s = new Scanner (System.in);
String myWord = s.next();

long countTimeEnd = System.currentTimeMillis();

float timeToWriteWordInSeconds = (countTimeEnd - countTimeStart) / 1000; //1 sec = 1000 millis.
float timeToWriteWordInMillis = countTimeEnd - countTimeStart;

if (!myWord.equals (myRandomWord)){
System.out.println("You Lost!");
}else if (myWord.equals (myRandomWord) && timeToWriteWordInMillis <= 10000){
System.out.println("You Won!");
}else if (myWord.equals (myRandomWord) && timeToWriteWordInMillis > 10000){
System.out.println("You got the word right, but it took you to long! - you lost!");
}

System.out.println("");
System.out.println(timeToWriteWordInMillis + " millis");
System.out.println("about " + timeToWriteWordInSeconds + " seconds");

Answer 1

I myself have tried many a times in making a loader in java using sleep thread but it doesn't works while on BlueJ it perfectly works Seniru :)

Answer 2

Hello friend ✌️

This is to inform you that you can use thread and sleep in sololearn code playground and not even applets . Basically sl code playground doesn't supports thread classes

Answer 3

Hmm Nilesh✰ sololearn supports Thread and it's sleep method too

Answer 4

So how you explain that the code runs well on any other platform? Can you please just leave this subject and answer my original question?

Answer 5

Nilesh✰ if they aren't supported you probably should get an Error, which doesn't happen here or in this code

Maybe you got a time out for your code. But again it's not unsupported - but the sleep's behavior is limited

Answer 6

This code is working on other platforms... just run it on another platform and please answer my question...
