Any tips on solving FizzBuzz in Python?

Question :

Based on a traditional English children's game

Print the numbers 1..100

For multiples of 3, print "Fizz" instead of the number

For multiples of 5, print "Buzz" instead of the number

For multiples of 3 and 5, print "FizzBuzz" instead of the number

Currently I'm trying to solve using conditional step approach, still new to this but thought I'd give the problem a shot.

What concepts should I review?

What variable are missing?

Am I lacking understanding of the question?

Hey Benji! Your answer is technically correct but you're making one simple mistake.

Tab spacing in Python is actually very important to Python. It can be whatever you like but it needs to be consistent. Unfortunately right at the end of your program your else statement is tabbed out too far and thats what is causing your problem. So just correct the spacing like so and it will work perfectly! Hope this helps and happy coding :)

for x in range(1, 101):
    if x % 3 == 0 and x % 5 == 0:
        print("FizzBuzz")

    elif x % 3 == 0:
        print("Fizz")

    elif x % 5 == 0:
        print("Buzz")

    else:
        print(x)
