I have created some code that manipulated some figures but I would like the
code to run evey 10 seconds.
I know this is easy for some but I am new to Java.
Please help.

If you need to do this in a Gui, you might want to look at
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/swing/Timer.html

Thanks for the reply. Do you have an example of real coding.

If you want a task to be run at some time in the future or repeatedly
at regular intervals, you can schedule it with the java.util.Timer
class. See also javax.swing.Timer.

They are pretty straightforward once you understand Threads.
