5,626 PointsFizz Buzz Question
Pasan,
At 1st, I coded Fizz Buzz like your provided solution. Then I realized, if I used else if, I would drop out when the number is divisible by 15, 3, and 5. For instance 15, 15 is divisible by 3, 5, and 15. Therefore Fizz, Buzz, and FizzBuzz should be printed.
Then I changed the code to all if statements, so that the number would be tested against each condition every time. Of course, this solution didn't pass.
I re-listened to the video and it doesn't say drop out once a test is met.
Has anyone else found the instructions confusing?

Otherwise the flow stops at the first and second check, never checking for FizzBuzz numbers. If my answer made any sense, I hope I could help. There is a video with the answer to this challenge though.

var randomNumber = 16
let fizz = randomNumber % 3 == 0
let buzz = randomNumber % 5 == 0
let fizzBuzz = fizz && buzz
if fizzBuzz {
print("FizzBuzz")
} else if fizz {
print("Fizz!")
} else if buzz{
print("Buzz!")
} else {
print(randomNumber)
}
