                        if (counter == 3) {
                            System.out.println("Counter has reached 3 now will terminate");
                            timer.cancel();//end the timer
                            break;//end this loop

            }
        });

        timer = new Timer("MyTimer");//create a new timer
        timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(timerTask, 30, 3000);//start timer in 30ms to increment  counter

        t.start();//start thread to display counter
    }
