    Default For loop problem

    So, give me a number (1-10) and I will roll a 10 sided dice. I will continue to roll the dice until I have landed on your number 5 times and tell you how many iterations it took. I am trying to make a loop to represent this scenario and I am not sure what I have done wrong. Here is the code I have written so far:

    int x = 1;
                for(int i = 0;; i++)
                {
                    int rNum = (int) (Math.random() * 10) + 1;
                    if (rNum == val) //val is the given number
                    {
                         x++;
                    }
                    if (x == 5)
                    {
                        System.out.println(rNum);
                        break;
                    }
     
                }

    So far the output is just one number, the number I put in! Any help will be appreciated.

    What number do you want to see? What variable has that number?
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
