current time millis in java code example

Example 1: java get current milliseconds

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.lang.*;

public class SystemDemo {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

      // returns the current time in milliseconds
      System.out.print("Current Time in milliseconds = ");
      System.out.println(System.currentTimeMillis());
   }
}

Example 2: system.currenttimemillis()

// gets total number of milliseconds since the UNIX Epoch
long totalMilliseconds = System.currentTimeMillis();

long totalSeconds = totalMilliseconds / 1000;
long currentSeconds = totalSeconds % 60;

long totalMinutes = totalSeconds / 60;
long currentMinutes = totalMinutes % 60;

long totalHours = totalMinutes / 60;
long currentHours = totalHours % 24;

// first function call MUST be long
// current times don't have to be long, can be {int, double, etc...}
// total times should usually be long
