Get Average of two java.util.Date -
i have array of java.util.date objects. trying find average. for example, if have 2 date objects 7:40am , 7:50am. should average date object of 7:45am. the approach thinking of inefficient: for loop through dates find difference between 0000 , time add time diff total divide total count convert time date object is there easier function this? well fundamentally can add "millis since unix epoch" of date objects , find average of those. tricky bit avoiding overflow. options are: divide known quantity (e.g. 1000) avoid overflow; reduces accuracy known amount (in case second) fail if have more 1000 items divide each millis value number of dates you're averaging over; work, has hard-to-understand accuracy reduction use biginteger instead an example of approach 1: long totalseconds = 0l; (date date : dates) { totalseconds += date.gettime() / 1000l; } long averageseconds = totalseconds / dates.size(); date averagedate = new date(avera...
