So I wanted to try out something for a bit with the Timer and TimerTask classes.

I was able to get a line of code to execute after 30 seconds elapsed. What I\'ve been t

Your solution is pretty close to working, you just have to multiply the delay by the counter (in your case, i):

public static void main(String[] args)
{
    for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++) // start i at 1 for initial delay
    {
        Timer timer = new Timer();
        timer.schedule(new TimerTask() {
            public void run()
            {
                System.out.println("30 Seconds Later");
            }
        }, 30000 * i); // 5 second intervals
    }
}
