countdown timer program

Hi,
I am making a java program to make a countdown timer.
User enters time,then when time is up a message is printed.
How do I print the time on the same line?
Please tell me how to go about it.
Thanks.

Re: countdown timer program

Just use google. Type System.out.println() java, or you could also try Java IO. Also, an easy way to 'count' would be

// X
Thread.getThread().sleep(1000); //waits for 1 second.
//If you print out right here, you can be sure that the time is extremely close to 1 second from X

// Read in the amount of time you want to wait in seconds, call it "time"
Thread.getThread().sleep(time * 1000); //waits for 1 second if time = 1.
//Print out the time you waited.
