How to print a one hour time table?

Question

Hi, I created the Time class along with the Ticker method; however I am having trouble trying to print out one full hour of a time table.
It has to be in this format, for example:
23:30:03
23:30:04
23:30:05
and so on....
Do I use the for loop to print the time as each second increments?
Thanks in advance!
Here is my code:
import java.text.DecimalFormat;
public class TestTime
public static void main (String[] args)
Time time = new Time(23,30,03);
System.out.println(time.toUniversalString() + "\t" + time.toString());
System.out.println();
class Time
private int hour;
private int minute;
private int second;
// Default constructor
public Time()
hour = 0;
minute = 0;
second = 0;
Time (int h, int m, int s)
hour = h;
minute = m;
second = s;
Time (Time t)
hour = t.hour;
minute = t.minute;
second = t.second;
// Set methods
public void setTime(int h, int m, int s)
this.hour = h;
this.minute = m;
this.second = s;
public void setHour(int h)
if ((h > 0) && (h <= 12))
hour = h;
else
hour = 12;
public void setMinute(int m)
if ((m > 0) && (m <= 59))
minute = m;
else
minute = 59;
public void setSecond(int s)
if ((s > 0) && (s <= 59))
second = s;
else
second = 59;
// Get methods
public int getHour()
return hour;
public int getMinute()
return minute;
public int getSecond()
return second;
// toString methods
public String toUniversalString()
DecimalFormat digits = new DecimalFormat("00");
return digits.format(hour) + ":" +
digits.format(minute) + ":" +
digits.format(second);
public String toString()
DecimalFormat digits = new DecimalFormat("00");
return ((getHour() == 12 || getHour() == 0) ? 12 : getHour() % 12) +
":" + digits.format(getMinute()) +
":" + digits.format(getSecond()) +
(getHour() < 12 ? " AM" : " PM");
// Tick method
public void tick()
second++;
if (second == 60)
second = 0;
minute++;
if (minute == 60)
minute = 0;
hour++;

It looks like your Time class already has a method you could use in the increment part of a for loop.
I'm referring to the tick() method.
If you had a method that could be used in the conditional part of the for loop, then you'd have all the parts you need. Then you could do something like this (in pseudo-code):
Time end = new Time(some-time-to-end-at);
for (Time ticker = new Time(some-time-to-start-at); ticker.before(end); ticker.tick())
  System.out.println(ticker);.
Just an idea.
BTW, when you post code, please wrap it in &#91;code&#91;/code] tags so it's easy to read.
