Thread: new to c++ need help

HI All

I have just started to learn c++ from the tutorials on this website and have got a problem with the following code it carry's on returning the error EXPECTED PRIMARY FUNCTION BEFORE ELSE please help!

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{
    cout<<"WHAT IS YOUR AGE ? ";
    int age;
    cin>>age;
    cin.get();
    cout<<"\nWHAT IS YOUR WIFE'S AGE ? ";
    int age2;
    cin>>age2;
    cin.get();
    
    if (age+age2>50);
    {
    cout<<"\nYOUR COMBINED AGE IS GREATER THEN 50";
    cin.get();
    }
    
    else
    
    {
        cout<<"\n YOUR COMBINED AGE IS LESS THEN 50 ";
        cin.get();
    }
        

    }

Code:

if (age+age2>50);

Oops. As tempting as it is to have something where you would expect "then", you have to leave that spot completely blank.
