problem with basic while loop

Java

hello this is a part of a sparsematrix , I have a questions with the printing of things before and after a while loop , the code basically at the begining has
" System.out.print("column number " + " test abcd "); " which can get printed if you compile however after the while loop has been finished then why does the second print out statement not work which is
System.out.print("column number " + colNumber + " test efgh "); ,
this is almost all the way down the bottom .
This print statement after the while loop does not get printed out .
This is basically the problem I am having .

Can anybody tell me what the problem is ?

Thank you

Here is the code :

public void print(int number)
   {
                  System.out.print("column number " + "  test abcd ");

               int countr = 0;
               int cntr = 0;

       number = 0;
       while( number == number )
       {
                if(!see_column(number))
                {
                  return;
               }

            Node columnitr = enter;
            while(columnitr.getcolmn() != number)
                {
                columnitr = columnitr.getright();
                }

            Node rowitr = columnitr;
            while(rowitr.getdown() != columnitr)
               {

                rowitr = rowitr.getdown();
             System.out.print("   ("+rowitr.getrow()+"  , "
                      +rowitr.getcolmn()+  "  )  :  "
                            +rowitr.getvalue());
                }

              number++;
              countr = rowitr.getcolmn();

              cntr = countr + 1;
              if (cntr > countr)
              {
              System.out.println("number of columns : "  +  cntr);
              System.out.print("column number " + colNumber + " -- ");
            }
       }


     System.out.print("column number " + colNumber + "  test efgh ");
