Why does my value get added in the loop

[bright atlas]

i want to count how many times the loop is run but every time i run the program it always prints the initial value of 0.

heres the original problem incase its necessary https://dmoj.ca/problem/ccc20j2

`import java.util.Scanner;

public class epidemiology
{
public static void main (String [] args)
{
Scanner scan = new Scanner (System.in);
int P=scan.nextInt();
scan.nextLine();
int N=scan.nextInt();
scan.nextLine();
int R = scan.nextInt();
scan.nextLine();
int dayz=NR;
int count=0;
for(int infections=0;infections>=P;) {
infections=dayzR;
count++;
}
System.out.println(count);
scan.close();

}

}`

when a orogram is stopped, everything it has in memory is erased

in order for something to be persisted, you need to store it on disk (and load it again)

[bright atlas]

ok how can i do that

[silk rain]

you write it to a file

First, you need to think about tze location to store it (file path) and what you actually want to persist

e.g. you could store it right where you run the program

[bright atlas]

is there any other way

im relatively new so i dont know how to use files

[silk rain]

files are the easiest way to do it

Hi @bright atlas , with "i want to count how many times the loop is run" you are trying to solve the original problem or is a following question? Because you don't need that in order to solve the exercise.
