Error in my code. I need some assistance.

Question

Hello. In the code below, I'm trying to have the program take in several conversions at once instead of one. I'm getting an error in my code and I don't know how to fix it. Any help would be kindly appreciated.
package conversion;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class TestDistance {
    /** Creates a new instance of TestDistance */
    public TestDistance() {
    @SuppressWarnings("empty-statement")
     public static void main (String[] args){
int count;       
int ans;
int number;
int measurement;
        String unit = JOptionPane.showInputDialog( null, "Enter Unit of Measure- F(feet) or M(meters)");
        Distance dist;
        do{
        String conversions = JOptionPane.showInputDialog( null, "How many conversions would you like to do?");
      for (int i = 0; i <= number; i++){
      count ++;
      measurement = 0;
      ans = 0;
        if( unit.toUpperCase().charAt(0) == Distance.FEET){
            String metric = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "You Have Chosen To Convert Feet to Meters.\n" +
                    "Please Enter The Distance in Feet");
            double feet = Double.parseDouble(metric);
            dist = new Distance(feet, Distance.FEET);
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog( null, String.format( "The Results: %.4f Meters", dist.getLength()));
        else if( unit.toUpperCase().charAt(0) == Distance.METERS){
            String inches = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "You Have Chosen To Convert Meters to Feet.\n" +
                    "Please Enter The Distance in Meters");
            double meters = Double.parseDouble(inches);
            dist = new Distance(meters, Distance.METERS);
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog( null, String.format( "The Results: \n%.4f Feet", dist.getLength()));          
        while(count > conversions);{
}The error involves while(count > conversions); it says operator > cannot be applied to int,java.lang.String, and I don't know how to fix it.

}You know the movie "Old Yeller" where the dog was so sick, he had to be put down, and they had to get another dog? Well, for the same reasons, I think that you will be best off to scrap this code and start afresh. Learn how to add code incrementally where you only add small bits of code to a program at one time and don't add any more until the code you have compiles and runs. Good luck.
