Record counts of the tables in USER_TABLES

Question

Hello everyone.
Please give me advice, is it possible to enumerate the tables in the USER_TABLES and in the same time to retrieve the record count in every each of them?
To illustrate, I want something like that:
select t.table_name,(select count(*) from t.table_name) from USER_TABLES t
This is only for isllustration. I know that is not the way.
Thank you in advance for your answers.
