I have been messing around some more with the for statement i have a question that has 5 possible answers and do this statement

 c++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
      cout << "question?\n";
      getline(cin,answer1);
      for (int i=0; i  <  5 ; i++){
	if (correct[i]==answer1)
	  cout << "do something!!\n\n";};
	else{
	  cout << "do something!!\n\n";
	  break;};
      cout << "question?\n";
      getline(cin,answer1);
      for (int i=0; i  <  5 ; i++){
	if (correct[i]==answer1)
	  cout << "do something!!\n\n";};
	else{
	  cout << "do something!!\n\n";
	  break;};

then i compile it with g++ and it brings up with error
k.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
k.cpp:19: error: expected primary-expression before ‘else’
k.cpp:19: error: expected `;' before ‘else’

i cant figure out where to put or take away the ; ??
