No output for loop program

The scope is to output the numbers from 1 to (input number) with the multiples of 3 being a * each. E.g. for 8 as input: 1,2,*,4,5,*,7,8. I tried to do this with a for loop but it has no output for some reason.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;


namespace HelpPleaseStackOverFlow
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            int number = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
            int x;
            for (x = 1; x <= number; ) 
                if (x % 3 == 0)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("*");
                }
                else;
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(x); 
                    x = x++;
                }
        }
    }
}

I tried converting the x variable (integer) to a string and then making it the * that should be printed out, in the first half of the IF statement and the last part with the ELSE basically the same.

I also tried to make the for statement like this:

for (x = 1; x <= number; x++)

with the x++ at the end but this just game me the result of ,,8. With an input of 7; 8 should not be part of this and I have no idea why it put 8 as an output.

>Solution :

most of the erroros are that you are lacking some {} and ()

 String input = Console.ReadLine();

        int number;

        int.TryParse(input, out number);

        for (int x = 1; x <= number; ++x)
        {
            if ((x % 3) == 0)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("*");
            }
            else
            {
                Console.WriteLine(x);

            }
        }
        Console.ReadLine();

Hope it helps.
