problems with "else"

Im trying to write a simple program about the peter piper tongue twister but I cant seem to get the else part of the program working.

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>

int main (int argo, char *argv[]) {

  int numberOfPeppers;
  numberOfPeppers = 0;

  printf ("peter piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.\n");
  printf ("how many pickled peppers did peter piper pick?\n");
  scanf ("%d", &numberOfPeppers);
  printf ("peter picked %d peppers\n", numberOfPeppers);

  if (numberOfPeppers == 0); {
  printf ("none? i guess he is lazy then.");

  } else {
  printf ("wtf is a 'peck of pickled peppers' anyway?");

  }

  return 0;

}

---

code blocks tells me the error is on the } else { line

error: expected primary-expression before "else"
error: expected `;' before "else"

ive tried comparing it to similar codes and trying to find faults with no success.
so can someone please explain the error?

thx

if (numberOfPeppers == 0);
Remove the extra ;

I'm glad to see literature rearing it's ugly head here again.

thanks salem, works fine now

come again?

FYI -

Peck:
A unit of dry volume or capacity in the U.S. Customary System equal to 8 quarts or approximately 537.6 cubic inches.

That's a lot of pickled peppers!

Kind of ruins the rhyme though ;)

Although those figures could be fun to use in working out how many pecks of pickled peppers the user has inputed in real terms.
