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.

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.)

And … new problem on the Codeyear site today 🙂

Week 2: Build a Taxi Fare Calculator  
Keep up with your coding by finishing this week’s lessons. There are  
thousands of other people working on this week’s courses with you—you  
will all build a calculator that tells you how much a taxi ride costs!
