In a for loop that counts from 1 to 100 I don't know how to replace the number 3 and 5 with "fizz" or "buzz".

I am trying to complete an extra credit that requires me to write a fizz buzz game using loops and if/else statments. As a hint, they mention the % modulo operator, that's why I'm using it. What am I doing wrong ? 

for (i=1; i<101; i = i +1) {
  console.log(i);
  if (i%3==0){
    console.log(i, "fizz");
  } else if (i%5==0) {
    console.log(i, "buzz");
  }
}

Hi Tiberiu

It's good for you to try an extra credit from the course.

By the way, I think you've messed up with the control structures and I'm not sure if you know how to use the remainder operator (%) or not. I'm going to write you a right code, and if you still don't understand you can ask me.

for (var i = 1; i <= 100; i += 1) {
  if (i % 3 == 0 && i % 5 == 0) {
    console.log("fizzbuzz");
  } else if (i % 3) {
    console.log("fizz");
  } else if (i % 5) {
    console.log("buzz");
  } else {
    console.log(i);
  }
}

Hope this helps.

Hi Tiberiu Ion,

I wrote the code, but I did it with the "while" function:

var counter = 100;

while (counter) {

    if (counter % 15 == 0) {
        console.log("fizz buzz");
    } else if (counter % 5 == 0) {
        console.log("buzz");
    } else if (counter % 3 == 0) {
        console.log("fizz");
    } else {
        console.log(counter)
    }

    counter = counter - 1;

}

I don't know if this is 100% correct, but it worked for me!
