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

You are counting some numbers twice. What you have to do is add inside one for loop, and use an if-else statement where if you find multiples of 3, you do not count them in 5 as well.

 if(temp % 3 == 0){
     x.add(temp);
     totalforthree += temp;
 } else if(temp % 5 == 0){
     y.add(temp);
     totalforfive += temp;
 }
