Not being to add my counter

Question

Hi all,
I have a problem with my counter. i initiated a counter which counts how many tries a number is generated and i can succesfully print that count. what i cant do is take that count and add it to itself so i can take an average of how many tires it took. secondly i have java running in my dos command windows under windows 2000 when i do one run it succesfully prints out the random number i genreated but if i do a loop to run it more than once the numbers do not print on screen only the last two does? i'm confused why it would print the first batch and no batch of number completely after that it just prints out the last.
i have a prgram model to somewhat of this effect
int counter;
loop{
counter = 0;
genrate numbers;
count++;
print count
print count+ next count <------ thats the step i dot know what i am doing wrong on. I hope my description make senses

Answer 1

Some thoughts .../* Code generates up to 500 random numbers in a loop and stores the value found in the int 'temp' -
takes value from incremented 'counter' and gives result when the input number was reached.  (not tested) */
  int theNum = 0;
  int numberOfTries = 499;
  int temp = 0;
  int counter = 0;
INPUT METHOD FOR THE NUMBER TO BE TESTED = 'TheNum'
   for(int i = 0; i < numberOfTries; i++) {
      counter++;
      Random rndm = new Random();
         int target = 1 + rndm.nextInt(100); // generates numbers 1-100 on each pass
        if (theNum == target) {
           temp = counter;     
    DISPLAY ANSWER: ("Your number "+theNum+" was guessed after "+temp+" Tries");
