Take a look at this and see if you can spot the error.

`

for (index=1;index<=20;index ++) {
if (index%3 === 0) {
console.log(“Fizz”);
}
else if (index%5 === 0) {
console.log(“Buzz”);
}
else if (index%3 === 0 && index%5 === 0) {
console.log(“FizzBuzz”);
}
else
console.log(index);
}

`

It ignores the second else if entirely, not sure why.
Probably syntax somewhere but haven’t been able to find it.

elif rather than else if?

Are you after a hint, or the answer? If the latter, well, under what
conditions is the second else-if condition true, and what does that
imply for the if condition (and, although less relevantly, the first
else-if condition)? Oh, and for good measure, ponder why I called my
parenthetical comment less relevant…

(Also, if I should shut up because I’m not part of this Codeyear thing,
uhm, oops. Sorry.)
