else problem

[Larsson]

Hi,
I have some problem with my programing and I could use some help.
I wonder why my else phrase does not work.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main ()
{
int number;

cout << " write a number" << endl;
cin >> number;

if (number < 10);
cout << " your number is lower then 10" << endl;
else
cout << " your number is over 10";


}

if (number < 10); ///error

if (number < 10) is correct

[Return 0]

You have a semi colon at the end of your if, remove it.

if (number < 10);
