Help with a number to increase by 1 each time something happens.

[Wizard0860]

So i am doing an algorithm, and what i can't understand is how to get the iterations to increase by 1 each time i press the next button. The code for my panel is:
//Name______________________________ Date_____________
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class Panel03 extends JPanel
{
private JLabel label1, label2;
private JTextField box;
private int number, count;
public Panel03()
{
setLayout(new FlowLayout());
number = 37;
count = 0;

label1 = new JLabel("37");
label1.setFont(new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD, 100));
label1.setForeground(Color.blue);
add(label1);

JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
add(panel);

box = new JTextField("37", 5);
box.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.RIGHT);
panel.add(box);

JButton button1 = new JButton("Set");
button1.addActionListener(new Listener1());
panel.add(button1);

JButton button2 = new JButton("Next");
button2.addActionListener(new Listener2());
panel.add(button2);

JButton button3 = new JButton("Quit");
button3.addActionListener(new Listener3());
panel.add(button3);

label2 = new JLabel("Iterations: 0");
add(label2);
}
private class Listener1 implements ActionListener
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{

int x=Integer.parseInt(box.getText());
label1.setText(box.getText());

}
}
private class Listener2 implements ActionListener
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{

int x=Integer.parseInt(box.getText());

if(x%2==1)
{
x=(x*3+1);
}
else if(x%2==0)
{
x=(x/2);
}
label1.setText(""+x);
box.setText(label1.getText());


}
}
private class Listener3 implements ActionListener
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{

int r=0;
Runtime.getRuntime().exit(r);

}
}
}


What should i add? thanks.

First - how about putting your code into the forum code brackets...
Second: implementing a variable that tracks your increments would be nice.
Third, the actionListener gets called when you push the button, so that would be a good place to increment your variable and then update the label2 right?
