Getting an error from the grid[x] I believe

Question

I keep getting an error on the last 3 methods, I believe it is because of the grid[x] but I can't figure it out. I can't seem to get the right syntax for it.

127: error: ')' expected for (int c = 0; c < grid[r].length; c++;) java:160: error: ')' expected if (counterNeighbors(grid, x, y == 3)

Answer 1

 for (int c = 0; c < grid[r].length; c++;)
    {

        grid[x][y] = false;
    }

remove ; after c++

like this

 for (int c = 0; c < grid[r].length; c++)
    {

        grid[x][y] = false;
    }

Answer 2

In your public static void clearGrid ( boolean[][] grid ) method Remove the ; from

  for (int c = 0; c < grid[r].length; c++;)
