java - drawString in loop writes only once instead of multiple times -

what code do?

for(int = 0; < enemysno; i++){     g.drawstring("\narray size: " + i, 200, 200); }   

enemysno random number between 0 , 10, , works fine. problem is, loops once, stops adding new lines after first iteration.

as psuedo code, though starts 0. compares condition, if false, code, makes ++ iterations, repeats loop?

ultimatly, want add n objects array, can quite work simple array work!

a simple test proves loop indeed works intended:

 public static void main(string[] args)     {         int enemysno = 5;         (int = 0; < enemysno; i++)         {             system.out.println("lalala " + i);         }     } 

this works fine producing

lalala 0 lalala 1 lalala 2 lalala 3 lalala 4 

it kind of obvious, via debugging or such test determine loop entered desired numer of times. problem must in string display: drawstring method overwrites printed string each time.

it should obvious if checked numbers on output.

the solution?

use string builder concatenate partial strings , draw final string using drawstring method
