Computation with time limit

Question

I\'m trying to write a construct which allows me to run computations in a given time window. Something like:

def expensiveComputation(): Double = //... some          


        

Answer 1

If you want to run the task in the current thread and if there should be no other threads involved, you would have to check whether the time limit is over inside of expensiveComputation. For example, if expensiveComputation is a loop, you could check for the time after each iteration.
