FizzBuzz (extra credit: introduction to programming) - help needed...

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone can tell me where I'm going wrong - I've got the FizzBuzz program counting up using the 'for' loop but the divisible 'if' functions don't appear to be working, and it's just looping endlessly because I can't figure out how to end it at 100.

Made a bit of a mess but don't want to just 'give up' so any help would be appreciated.

for (var number=1;number; number = number +1) {
    console.log(number);
    number = number +1;

    if (number % 3 == 0 && number % 5 == 0) {
        console.log("fizzbuzz");
    }

    if (number % 5 ==0) {
        console.log("fizz");
    }

    if (number % 3 == 0) {
        console.log("buzz");
    } else {
        console.log(number);
    }
}

Your loop is looping infinitely because you don't have a condition added to it. Here it will loop until number is less than 10

     for (var number=1; number < 10; number +=1) {
    console.log(number);
}

Thanks Aleksandr, that's fixed the whole thing and it works. Not sure why but I figured you couldn't put operators in the second part of the 'for' function :/
