Would the following code also work?

var number = 3

if number % 5 == 0 && number % 3 == 0 {
    println("FizzBuzz")
}
else if number % 3 == 0 {
    println("Fizz")
}
else if number % 5 == 0 {
    println("Buzz")
}

And as you change the var "number" it would print the correct result.

Hello Will,

The short answer... the code would work, but it may not work the way you intended!

The short solution...

var number = 3

if number % 5 == 0 && number % 3 == 0 {
    println("FizzBuzz")
}
else if number % 5 == 0 {
    println("Fizz")
}
else if number % 3 == 0 {
    println("Buzz")
}
else {
    do something... 
}

Good Luck,

Franciscus

Your code is identical to where I started and will definitely work if you pass it each individual value. But the real power of code is in the ability to automate so that the computer does all the work for you.

Simply replace your var with "for numbers in 1...50 {"

and you've got it. Just have to close the curly braces at the end of your code.
