java - Ranking Variables and showing their names -

i'm trying make ranking using variables in java.

i've created gui (using netbeans) 8 buttons, each 1 adds 1 different variable. goal create ranking clicked buttons.

---

for example:

if button1 clicked 10 times, variable button1 gets first place.

if button2 clicked 8 times, variable button2 gets second place, , on.

then when click on button "calculate" name of clicked buttons appear in text field.

---

what done:

i have declared 8 variables classes atributes, each 1 int called buttonx (x being number of button).

each button adds 1 own variable. (button1 = button1 + 1;)

now need calculate the biggest values , rank them, put it's names on text fields using command:jtextfield3.settext(variable_name_here);

i have no idea do, except check if every value bigger other 1 each place.

---

extra detail

i want first letter of each variable in capital letter.

can guys give help/insight/ideas? thanks!

you need not have individual variables... can achieve them using map below

your actionperformed() of 8 buttons can below

private void actionperformed(actionevent ae) {     jbutton b = (jbutton) ae.getsource();     int clickcount = map.get(b.gettext());     map.put(b.gettext(), clickcount + 1);      //iterate map , key maximum value , show in jtextfield3 }
