Repeating code N times selenium WD in Java

Question

public WebDriver Loopthisstuff (Webdriver driver, int X) {
   additem.click();
   WebElement answerX = driver.findElement(By.id("item_rowX_txt"));
   answerX.sendKeys("ITEM NR X");
}

I am kinda new to coding,I am looking for a method to loop this piece NTIMES. The nature of the site is that every time you additem.click() it creates a new texfield with id "item_rowX_txt" with X increasing by one each time.

I also have to fill these fields with the SendKeys command. Any tips please? I have just started learning java and working with selenium. ( tried to make the code as little as I could). I did some googling about looping N times but I dont know how to implement it for a class, and how to use the same variable (X) at those places you see in the code.

Before starting with selenium it is expected to have knowledge of any programming language, in this case JAVA. But you can try below solution:

//assuming that X is the number of times you want to execute the loop

public WebDriver Loopthisstuff (Webdriver driver, int X) {
//also assuming that the ID of first textbox is "item_row0_txt"
for(int i=0;i<X;i++)
{
    additem.click();
    WebElement answerX = driver.findElement(By.id("item_row"+i+"_txt"));
    answerX.sendKeys("ITEM NR "+i);
}
}
