using compareTo() in string

[Pratik D mehta]

 public class Sringimp {
    static String arr[] = {"xem","zap","are","rat","sat"};
public static void main(String args[])
    {
for(int j = 0;j<arr.length;j++)
{
	for(int i = j + 1 ; i < arr.length; i++)
	{
	if(arr[i].compareTo(arr[j]) < 0);
	{
	String temp = arr[j];
	arr[j] = arr[i];
	arr[i] = temp;
	}
		}
System.out.println(arr[j]);

}

   }

}   

I am getting answer as
sat
rat
are
zap
xem
But it is expected that we should get this
are
rat
sat
xem
zap
This question is very simple but , I dont get the flaw .

Try removing the ; from line 9. And see what happens

Is your source code really formatted like that?

We've all been there. Sometimes we stare at code for too long that we miss the actual problem. A second eye would not hurt either.
Glad I softened the head banging.
