How to get a counter for a guessing game

I'm attempting to add a counter to my program to count the number of guesses that the user has taken. I'm not sure how to do this...

Below is my code: 

import java.util.*;//imports the utilities
public class WordPyramid {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
            int n;
            Scanner kb = new Scanner(System.in);
            System.out.println("Making 3 random numbers…"); 
            System.out.println("What is the sum?");
            Random rn =new Random();
            int answer = rn.nextInt(10) + 1;
            int answera=rn.nextInt(10) + 1;
            int answerb=rn.nextInt(10) + 1;;
            int fans =answer+answera+answerb;
            while ((n = kb.nextInt()) != fans) {

                  System.out.println("Sorry, try again");
                  System.out.println("What is the sum?");
                }
            System.out.println("");

          }



    }

Consider having a new int count = 0 outside your while loop, and using an increment like count++ inside your loop.

This will increase your value for count by 1 with each incorrect guess, or effectively each time the while loop is run through.

You may find this informative as well, along with the rest of the Java Tutorials.

if you want to show every try number , here is a simple example :

       int i=0;
        while ((n = kb.nextInt()) != fans) {
              i++;
              System.out.println("Try number : "+i);

              System.out.println("Sorry, try again");
              System.out.println("What is the sum?");

            }
