Program not working!!

[byassir5]

Hello everybody!!
I am new to Java, wrote my first program last week. My program is compiling but it is not giving me the result I was hoping for. I would appreciate it if somebody could point out to my mistake.
Thanks.

public class Counter
{
int counter=0;
int stepValue;

public Counter(int step)
{
step=stepValue;
}

public void increase(){
counter = counter+stepValue;
}
public void decrease(){
counter = counter-stepValue;
}

public int getCount(){
return counter;
}


public static void main(String[] args)
{

Counter counter = new Counter(1); //create a new counter with a step value of 1

counter.increase(); //add 1
System.out.println("Expected Count: 1 -----> Actual Count: " + counter.getCount());

counter.increase(); //add 1
System.out.println("Expected Count: 2 -----> Actual Count: " + counter.getCount());

counter.decrease(); //subtract 1
System.out.println("Expected Count: 1 -----> Actual Count: " + counter.getCount());


counter = new Counter(10); //create a new counter with a step value of 10
System.out.println("Expected Count: 0 -----> Actual Count: " + counter.getCount());

counter.increase(); //add 10
System.out.println("Expected Count: 10 ----> Actual Count: " + counter.getCount());

counter.decrease(); //subtract 10
System.out.println("Expected Count: 0 -----> Actual Count: " + counter.getCount());

counter.decrease(); //subtract 10
System.out.println("Expected Count: -10 -----> Actual Count: " + counter.getCount());

}

}

What is it giving you add please place your codes in

public Counter(int step)
{
step=stepValue;
}

Here is your problem. You are setting the parameter equal to a global variable. Do the opposite.

public Counter(int step) {
        stepValue = step;
    }
