my bag is: Adding twice the same elements to the total
for exemple:
for divider in 3, 5:
basis=divider
while basis < 1000:
mod = basis % divider
if mod == 0:
total = total + basis
if "basis" is 15, then "mod" == 0 twice - when the "divider" is 3 and 15
my new version of script:
total = 0
div1 = 3
div2 = 5
for basis in range(0, 1000):
mod = basis % div1
if mod == 0:
total = total + basis
continue
mod = basis % div2
if mod == 0:
total = total + basis
continue
print("total = ", total)
