Very Basic Problem ( error: 'else' without a previous 'if' ) yet i have 'if' there :S

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{
    int number1;

    cout<< "Please Enter A Number: ";
    cin>> number1;
    cin.ignore();
    if ( number1 > 10 ); {
        cout<< "I Told You It Had To Be Less Than 10!\n";
        cout<< "No More Chances For You!\n";
        cout<< "Press Enter To Close";
    }
    else {
        cout<< "Well Done! You Entered: " << number1 << "Which Is Less Than 10, Just As I Asked!\n";
        cout<< "Now Press Enter Please!";
    }
    cin.get();
}

This is the code i have entered, as you can see it is a very basic code.

Could someone please tell me where i have gone wrong? as i get the error code mentioned in the title.

Thanks in advance!

I rewrote the whole code and it works now but can someone please tell me where i went wrong for future reference?

This is the new code that works:

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{
    int number1;

    cout<< "Please Enter A Number that is less than 10: ";
    cin>> number1;
    cin.ignore();
    if (number1 > 10) {
    cout<<"Oh dear, you entered: " << number1 << ". I said it had to be less than 10!\n";
    }
    else {
    cout<<"Good job! You entered: " << number1 << ". Which is less than 10\n";
    }
    cin.get();
}

Don't put a semicolon after the if condition.

ahh yes! thanks very much!

i think you yourself removed the semicolon, so reason for correct behavior is evident.
