Potential answer to adding up total loop inputs

// Class list (String adding-on upon doing while loop.
// Outputs all of the Strings being saved during the while loop.


	int counter = 1, total;
		String name, names="";

		 total = Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter total number of students"));

		while (counter<=total)
			{
			name = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter student's name");
			names += name + "\n";
			counter++;

		}

			JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Class is full");
			JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Class list below: " + "\n" + names);
