Is there a synchronous analogue of Timer?

Question

Java

There is an Update( ) method
which contains a series of checks of the form

if ( System.currentTimeMillis() - old_run_1  >= 1000 )
{
    // Что-то
}

Java has a Timer class that allows you to schedule jobs. But it runs in a separate thread.

Is there such a class that would accept tasks similar to Timer, but perform interval checks and execute tasks in the thread that called, roughly speaking, the checkAndRun () method?

Answer 1

A timer without a thread is a normal loop with checking the current time and sleeping on each iteration.
