    Default how to?

    I have to let the user press in a number, and the number that is being inserted is the amount that the program has to run.

    so i have this already

    System.out.println("How many simulations do you want");
    numberSimulations = Input.readLong();

    for ( y = 0 ; y = numberSimulation ; y ++) {
    SimulationThatHasToBeDoneXNumberOfTimes();

    this way doesn't work because it has to be boolean,can anyone tell me another way of doing this??

    y = numberSimulation

    A single equals is assignment. A double equals is comparison. Do you really want the loop to execute ONLY when y equals numberSimulation?

    if the input is 100, the loop has to be done 100 times but i don't think for is the right way.
    i have to run SimulationThatHasToBeDoneXNumberOfTimes(); an amount of times==>that amount is chosen by the user(input)

    I understand, I want you to think about it. If numberSimulation is 100 and y is 0 what should the condition of your loop be?
