Pictorial Presentation:

Sample Solution:

Java Code:

import java.lang.*;

public class Exercise91 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {    
        long startTime = System.nanoTime(); 
        
        // Sample program: Display the first 10 natural numbers.
        int i;
        System.out.println("The first 10 natural numbers are:\n");
        for (i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {      
            System.out.println(i);
        }
        
        // Calculate the elapsed time in nanoseconds.
        long estimatedTime = System.nanoTime() - startTime;
        System.out.println("Estimated time (in nanoseconds) to get the first 10 natural numbers: " + estimatedTime);
    }
}

Sample Output:

The first 10 natural numbers are:

2                                                                      
3                                                                      
4                                                                      
5                                                                      
6                                                                      
7                                                                      
8                                                                      
9                                                                      
10                                                                     
Estimated time (in nanoseconds) to get the first 10 natural numbers: 29
1045
