The Timer class in Java can be used to run code at specific intervals. It provides a simple and easy-to-use mechanism for scheduling tasks to be performed at regular intervals. Here's an example:

import java.util.Timer;
import java.util.TimerTask;

public class MyClass {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Timer timer = new Timer();
        TimerTask task = new TimerTask() {
            @Override public void run() {
                // code to be executed at specific interval
            }
        };
        timer.schedule(task, 0, 1000); // schedule task to be run every second
    }
}

In this example, a Timer object is created and a TimerTask is defined to contain the code to be executed at the specified interval. The schedule() method is then called on the Timer object to schedule the task to run every second (specified by the second argument, 1000).
