I have joined the gym i go in exercise but i don't know how many do reps of exercises i supposed to be doing?

Depends: It varies depending on what shape you are in now, your current strength or weakness, what your goals are, etc. In general you can start with weight/resistance that you can tolerate, and try 5 repetitions, resting, and then do another set or two. As you get stronger, increase the number of reps gradually till you get to 10. You may also gradually increase the weight.
