QUESTION 15 OF 20

Talk about what a Java timer class is and how you schedule a task to run after a specific interval?

Another classically formatted technical question. You are being asked to define a concept and then discuss how it is used in your work. Remember to keep your answer brief and to the point, and provide an example if you think it will enhance your response. Always be prepared for follow-up questions when you provide an answer.

"A Java timer class is a subclass of a java.util package. It is used to schedule a thread that is executed in the future. An example of one use is for scheduling a task which will be run at regular intervals."

Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

Anonymous Answer

The Timer class is thread-safe and allows the user to schedule a batch of code to run after a specific amount of time. An example would be a notification reminder set for the same time each day.

Marcie's Feedback

What does thread-safe mean? Perhaps clarify this a bit more? Good job on including an easy-to-understand example.
