I am just starting to try my hands in the problems of Project Euler and i have got stuck in the first code itself. Can someone please tell me in the below code where i am going wrong. The problem statement is as follows: If we list all the natural numbers below 10 that are multiples of 3 or 5, we get 3, 5, 6 and 9. The sum of these multiples is 23. Find the sum of all the multiples of 3 or 5 below 1000. And my solution is as follows: multiple1 = 5 multiple2 = 3 index = 2 sum = 0 while multiple1 < 1000 or multiple2 < 1000: if multiple1 < 1000: sum = sum + multiple1 multiple1 = 5 * index if multiple2 < 1000: sum = sum + multiple2 multiple2 = 3 * index index = index + 1 print (sum) I know someone has already posted the solution somewhere, but i just want to figure out where i am going wrong with the logic.
