Java, replacement for infinite loops?

Question

I am making a program that shows cellular growth through an array. I have gotten it so when I press the start button, the array updates every 10 seconds in a while(true){} l

Answer 1

If those "buttons" are Swing buttons, then the way to do this is: have the Start button create a new javax.swing.Timer object which does the update every 10 seconds. Then have the Pause button stop that timer.
