Euler #1

[kinuthiA muchanE]

Eric,

If you are getting it correct for 10, then I do not understand why you
cannot get for 1000. You just need to swap the two numbers. Can we see
the code ? ...and your answer is a bit on the higher side.

You could initialize a variable named, say, "total" to zero. Then create
a "while" or a "for" loop, whose limit is LESS than 1000. Then check for
numbers which are a multiples of 3 OR 5, if you find one you add it to
total, when the loop terminates the final value of total is the answer
you are looking.
Does this help?
