I can't figure out why its not working.
func fizzBuzz(n: Int) -> String {
// Enter your code between the two comment markers
if n % 3 == 0 {
return "Fizz"
} else if n % 5 ==0 {
return "Buzz"
} else if n % 5 == 0 && n % 3 == 0 {
return "FizzBuzz"
} else {
return "\(n)"
}
}

Treehouse TeacherThere's a couple of things, and one is tiny and the other is bigger. They tiny thing is on this line:
else if n % 5 ==0
You need a space between the equals and the 0 otherwise you get a compiler error.
And now for the big thing. Your logic is flawed. Imagine this scenario. We send in the number 30. According to your code it will look at 30 and ask if 30 is evenly divisible by 3. It is, so it returns "Fizz". Keep in mind that once a condition is evaluated to true it never performs any other check. It stops dead in its tracks right there and returns the "Fizz". But what it should return is "FizzBuzz" as it is both divisible by 5 and 3. Try reordering your if else ifs with the check for it being divisible by both first.
Hope this helps!
