im doing an excercise, it wants to display the number of times the user has entered the number till he enter -1 which breaks the program. I can't think of a way to add it. I'd like you to add a variable which will store the number of times user entered a number and display it at the bottom

    System.out.println("Type numbers:");
    
    int sum = 0;
    
    while(true) {   
        int number = Integer.parseInt(scanner.nextLine());
        if(number == -1) {
            break;
        }
        
        sum += number;
        
    } 
    
    System.out.println("Thank you and see you later");
    System.out.println("The sum of the numbers is "+sum);
}

}

Solution of the problem is already given in the comment section. I'm just adding it as an answer with code.

Solution:

Maintain another variable to count the number of given inputs.

Code:

System.out.println("Type numbers:");

int sum = 0;
int inputCount = 0;

while (true) {
    int number = Integer.parseInt(scanner.nextLine());
    if (number == -1) {
        break;
    }
    inputCount++;   // incrementing number of valid input
    sum += number;
}

System.out.println("Thank you and see you later");
System.out.println("The sum of the numbers is " + sum);
System.out.println("Count of given input " + inputCount);
