Running into an issue

[my228rocks]

Hello,

I am trying to get this While Loop to run, but it keeps only running 1x and then only if I put in a value of 0. If someone could please point out the issue, Thank You

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
std::cout << std::fixed;
std::cout << std::setprecision(2);

//variable declaration
int hours;//hours worked
float wage;//wage agent earns
int month;//month of pay period
int day;//day of pay period
int year;//year of pay period
float grosspay;//gross pay before taxes
float taxes;//tax rate
float netpay;//net pay after taxes
int num_x, num_y;//counter variables

//getting variable for while loop
cout << "Please enter number of agents to input ";
cin >> num_x;

num_y = num_x;

if (num_x < 1)
{
num_y = 0;//setting close program if input is 0
}



while (num_x > 1);
{

cout << "Please Enter the Hours Agent Worked: ";
cin >> hours;
cout << "Please Enter the hourly wage for Agent: ";
cin >> wage;
cout << "Please enter the Month for pay period: ";
cin >> month;
cout << "Please enter the Day for pay period: ";
cin >> day;
cout << "Please enter the Year for pay period: ";
cin >> year;

grosspay = hours * wage;
taxes = .073 * grosspay;
netpay = grosspay - taxes;

cout << "Agents Gross Pay for Pay Period, " << month << "/" << day << "/" << year << " is, $" << grosspay << "\n";
cout << "And after taxes Netpay will be $" << netpay;
num_y--;
}

return 0;
}

while (num_x > 1); // <- semi-colon here is BAD

while (num_x > 1);
Get rid of the ;
It's terminating your while loop.
