Calculating Mileage & Breaking For Loop

Question

Hey all,
I'm trying to create an application that calculates total mileage traveled and subtracts the initial mileage reading on the odometer. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Also, can you tell me how I can break the For loop by inputting a negative number or typing in "stop"? I pasted the code below. Thanks for your help!
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Lab4{
     public static void main(String args[]){
          int miles[] = new int[10];
          double gallons[] = new double [10];
          double mpg[] = new double [10];
          Scanner kb = new Scanner(System.in);
          int count=0;
          double counter=0.0;
          for (int i = 0; i < 1; i++){
               System.out.println("What is the reading on the odometer?");
               miles[i] = kb.nextInt();
               if (i > 0)
                    count = count + miles;
          for (int i = 1; i < 9; i++){
               System.out.println("How many miles have you traveled since last filling up?");
               miles[i] = kb.nextInt();
               if (i > 0);
                    count = count + miles [i] - miles[0];
          System.out.print("You have traveled " + count);
          System.out.println(" miles");

public class Lab4{// which seams to be a School lesson...
int miles[] = new int[10];
//Do you know what this line does?
miles[i] = kb.nextInt();
//Any idea why this line does not compile?
count = count + miles;
// and this line either?
I think you should go back two steps and learn the differences between objects, primitive types and arrays.
