Stopwatch Application

A Java GUI application that combines a digital clock with a stopwatch featuring lap time functionality.

Features

• Digital Clock: Displays current time in 24-hour format (HH:MM:SS)
• Stopwatch: Accurate to milliseconds (HH:MM:SS.mmm)
• Lap Times: Records up to 10 lap times with queue-based management
• Controls:
  • Start/Pause stopwatch
  • Reset stopwatch and lap times
  • Record lap times while running

Technical Details

• Data Structures: Uses Queue (LinkedList implementation) for efficient lap time management
• Algorithms: Efficient time calculations using modulo arithmetic
• GUI: Built with Java Swing
• Precision: Stopwatch updates every 10ms for accurate timing

How to Run

1. Ensure you have Java JDK installed (version 8 or higher recommended)

2. Compile the Java file:

   javac StopWatch.java
   

Run the application

java StopWatch

Future Enhancements

• Add 12-hour format option for the clock
• Implement lap time statistics (fastest/slowest/average)
• Add sound notifications
• Save lap times to file
