if-statement

This is a specific problem, but I can't seem to figure out what is wrong.

else if (X == 2)
        //move left
    {
        if (Level[X-1][Y] == 0);
        {

            cout << Level[X-1][Y] << "\n";
            cout << "\n MOVING LEFT from RIGHT\n";  //PROBLEM IS HERE

            Level[X][Y] = 1; // block it
            X = X - 1;
            moved = 1;
        }
    }

What I am doing is I am checking if Level[X-1][Y] is 1, indicating a column, so I can not move my player there. However for some reason, despite it being 1 and not 0 (as indicated by the output), the IF statement is still accessed. Any help will be appreciated.

Performance of if statement versus switch statement

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
Hi Everyone, I have an if statement with 16 cases (I am checking the state of four boolean variables). Would there be any value in trying to implement this differently, with nested switch statements perhaps? What is the actual performance gain of a switch statement over an if statement?
