Having trouble with for loop

[arr9999]

The code itself "works" as in it doesn't bring any errors, but it isn't working as intended. What I was hoping to do was to get it to say something like:
I have 3 dollars
I have 2 dollars
I have 1 dollar

Instead however, it does this:
I have 3 dollars
I have 3 dollar
I have 2 dollars
I have 2 dollar
I have 1 dollar

I tried adding break; after line 6, but then it stops at "I have 20 dollars" and it doesn't continue.

  int main() {
  
  for (int i = 20; i > 0; i--) {

    if (i > 1) {
    std::cout << "I have " << i << " dollars\n";
    }
    else (i == 1); {
    std::cout << "I have " << i << " dollar\n";
    }
    std::cout << "'one day later...'\n";
  }

else is binary, what I mean is you have if this, then that, else other. That is all you get, ever. You can CHAIN the statements, but you can't do more.
to chain them:
if(something)
code;
else if(something else)
other code
else
default code;

which for you simply means putting the keyword IF after your else on line 8, before the condition (which does nothing currently, and beware of that ; on the end of it, that has to go away)

currently what it really says is
if(i>1) then cout
else do nothing
always cout again.

the new logic changes it to
if(i>1)
cout
else
if (i == 1)
other cout

note that some languages have elseif keywords. C++ does not, the else and the next if are distinct statement/code blocks, but I personally feel else if (condition) all on one line looks nice.
