Array Method

[Amy Lee]

I'm writing a method that takes a single parameter which is an array of ints and returns the number of elements in that array that are greater than the first element. My code is as follows:

public class varMethods
{   public static int over(int[] list)
    {   int count = 0;
        int i = 1;
        while(i < list.length)
        {   if(list[i] > list[0]);
            {   ++count;
            }
            ++i;
        }
        return count;
    }
}

When I enter into the method call new int[] {1,2,3}, it returns 2 which is correct. But when I enter in the method call new int[] {2,1,3}, it again returns 2 when it was expected to return 1. I can't figure out why it's doing this.

Thanks.

there is a semi-colon at the end of if statement remove it and it will work fine

if(list[i] > list[0]);

Wow, I didn't even notice that...must have typed that by accident. Thanks!
