Why won't this destroy code work?

Question

I am new to unity and scripting. I wanna learn how to destroy a cube in my game when i click on it. I wrote the following script in js and named it destroy food.

 #pragma strict
 function Start () {
 
 }
 
 function Update () {
    if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown);
    {
       Destroy(gameObject);
    }
 
 }

I assigned it to the cube i wanted to destroy, but when i hit the play button it gave me the following error.

Assets/destroy food.js(9,28): BCE0044: expecting :, found ';'.

What am i doing wrong?

Hard to read your code without it being formatted to help determine your compile error. But try the following to do what you want.

 function OnMouseOver()
 {
    if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
    {
       Destroy(gameObject);
    }
 }

You have a semicolon after your if statement.

Make it

 function Update () { 
 if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown) { 
 Destroy(gameObject); }
 
 }
