    Problem with switch loop

    I'm having some trouble with this switch loop:

    Code:
    switch (guess_counter)
    	{
    		case 1;
    			strcpy (recent_guess1, user_input);
    			guess_counter++;
    			break;
    		case 2;
    			strcpy (recent_guess2, user_input);
    			guess_counter++;
    			break;
    		case 3;
    			strcpy (recent_guess3, user_input);
    			guess_counter++;
    			break;
    		default;
    			strcpy (recent_guess4, user_input);
    			guess_counter = 1;
    			break;
    	}
    When i compile, i get this error:
    mastermind2.c: In function `update_recent':
    mastermind2.c:156: error: parse error before ';' token
    mastermind2.c:160: error: parse error before ';' token
    mastermind2.c:164: error: parse error before ';' token
    mastermind2.c:168: error: parse error before ';' token

    I have tried evrything i can think of and can't see why this is happening, does anyone have any ideas?

    Many Thanks

    Btw, this is a switch and not a "switch loop". You don't see it looping anywhere, do you?
