Help with for in java

If I want to call this 500 times how do I do? With a for-loop?

Code:

---

        public void timeTick()
        {
                ++minutes;
                if (minutes == 60)
                {
                        minutes = 0;
                        ++hours;
                        if (hours == 24)
                        {
                                hours = 0;
                        }
                }
                checkAlarm();
        }

Thanks

If you want to execute a piece of code an exact number of times then yes a for loop would be ideal to use.
To give a more specific answer without giving the answer, here is example code of adding ten times

Code:

---

public class test
{

  public static void main(String args[])
  {
    int result = 0;
    for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    {
      result++;
    }
  }
}
