Whats wrong with this loop code?

[wordone]

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't but I can't find the bug:

package Loop.Test;

import java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService;
import java.util.concurrent.Executors;

public class TheLoopTest {

        private final ExecutorService executorService = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(100);
        private static final int MAX = 1000;
        private int zeroToTop = 0;

        TheLoopTest() throws InterruptedException {
                for (int i = 0; i < MAX; i++) {
                        executorService.execute(new Runnable() {
                                public void run() {
                                        incrementAllTheWay();
                                }
                        });
                }
                executorService.shutdown();
                while (!executorService.isTerminated()) {
                        Thread.sleep(500);
                }
                System.out.println(zeroTotop);
        }

        private void incrementAllTheWay() {
                int obfusticatedIncremental = zeroToTop;
                obfusticatedIncremental = obfusticatedIncremental + 1;
                zeroToTop = obfusticatedIncremental;
        }

        /**
         * @param args
         */
        public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
                new TheLoopTest();
        }

}

Can you tells us what you think this thing is supposed to do and what it actually does? This is not a guessing forum.

kind regards,

Still not working, any other suggestions?

Please answer my question (see my previous reply). If not I'm out of here; this is not a guessing forum.

It's about a race condition and it should print out '1000' every time but it doesn't always. I tried to change Executors.newFi xedThreadPool(1 00); to match the Thread.sleep(50 0); so the times are the same but that didn't seem to fix it.
