find the sum of the multiples of 3 and 5 below 1000

Question

Ok guys, so I\'m doing the Project Euler challenges and I can\'t believe I\'m stuck on the first challenge. I really can\'t see why I\'m getting the wrong answer despite my

Answer 1

I did this several ways and several times. The fastest, cleanest and simplest way to complete the required code for Java is this:

public class MultiplesOf3And5 {

public static void main(String[] args){

System.out.println("The sum of the multiples of 3 and 5 is: " + getSum());

}

private static int getSum() {
int sum = 0;
for (int i = 1; i < 1000; i++) {
    if (i % 3 == 0 || i % 5 == 0) {
        sum += i;
    }
}
return sum;
}

If anyone has a suggestion to get it down to fewer lines of code, please let me know your solution. I'm new to programming.
