Specifying a maximum time limit for algorithm execution

During the execution of algorithms, the program will periodically check if the algorithm has been computing longer than the allowable run time. If the limit has been exceeded, then the algorithm will be terminated and no results of the algorithms will be retained. To set the maximum amount of execution time for an algorithm, select the Time Limit command from the Edit menu. The Time Limit dialog window will be shown. The Time Limit dialog box is shown in Figure 2.18. Enter a limit of 120 seconds, which is more than sufficient for this small tutorial project. Press Ok to accept the new value.
