## Class StopWatch

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.commons.lang3.time.StopWatch

-     public class StopWatch
      extends Object

  `StopWatch` provides a convenient API for timings.

  To start the watch, call `start()` or `createStarted()`. At this point you can:

  - `split()` the watch to get the time whilst the watch continues in the background. `unsplit()` will remove the effect of the split. At this point, these three options are available again.
  - `suspend()` the watch to pause it. `resume()` allows the watch to continue. Any time between the suspend and resume will not be counted in the total. At this point, these three options are available again.
  - `stop()` the watch to complete the timing session.

  It is intended that the output methods `toString()` and `getTime()` should only be called after stop, split or suspend, however a suitable result will be returned at other points.

  NOTE: As from v2.1, the methods protect against inappropriate calls. Thus you cannot now call stop before start, resume before suspend or unsplit before split.

  1. split(), suspend(), or stop() cannot be invoked twice
  2. unsplit() may only be called if the watch has been split()
  3. resume() may only be called if the watch has been suspend()
  4. start() cannot be called twice without calling reset()

    - #### suspend

          public void suspend()

      Suspends the stopwatch for later resumption.

      This method suspends the watch until it is resumed. The watch will not include time between the suspend and resume calls in the total time.

      The format used is ISO 8601-like, [message ]hours:minutes:seconds.milliseconds.

      Returns:
        the split time as a String
      Since:
        2.1, 3.10 Returns the prefix `"message "` if the message is set.

    - #### toString

          public String toString()

      Gets a summary of the time that the stopwatch recorded as a string.

      The format used is ISO 8601-like, [message ]hours:minutes:seconds.milliseconds.

      Returns:
        the time as a String

    - #### unsplit

          public void unsplit()

      Removes a split.
