Fizzbuzz challenge

I am currently stuck on the Fizz Buzz challenge, when i go to run the script i get an unexpected token error. I have a feeling that the issue is in my formatting and i am on the right track for how to actually structure out the code. I am not looking for an answer just to be pointed in the right direction.

for (var counter =1; counter < 101; counter=counter+1) { console.log(counter) if (counter%3==0 && counter%5==0) { console.log("fizzbuzz"); } else (counter%3==0) { console.log("fizz"); } else(counter%5==0){ console.log("buzz"); } else { console.log(counter); }

Yes Andrew, there is a semicolon missing in the first console.log(counter). Did you forget it, or just don't think it should be there? Here you have some info about semicolons and Javascript: http://www.codecademy.com/blog/78-your-guide-to-semicolons-in-javascript

Thank you very much for your help, i was not aware a semi colon needed to be there. Thank you for the link, that read will be a huge help.

Hey Andrew!

I'll try to help you wiyhout giving you the answer... Check how the if...else statement is used! And if all closures {} are correct!

check your usage of if and else

alright, i changed my else statements to else if. Now i think i am down to some misplaced semi colons or brackets, the new error i get when running the script is unexpected end of input

for (var counter =1; counter < 101; counter=counter+1) { console.log(counter) if (counter%3==0 && counter%5==0) { console.log("fizzbuzz") } else if(counter%3==0) { console.log("fizz") } else if(counter%5==0){ console.log("buzz") } else { console.log(counter) }

Are you sure that you are closing all loops? For, if, else...

Added closing curly brace to the end of else statement, pretty sure i need two there, one to close the else statement and one to close the for loop. still getting the same error though, I am not sure i understand the proper placement of semi-colins here.

for (var counter =1; counter < 101; counter=counter+1) { console.log(counter) if (counter%3==0 && counter%5==0) { console.log("fizzbuzz"); } else if(counter%3==0) { console.log("fizz"); } else if(counter%5==0){ console.log("buzz"); } else { console.log(counter);} }
