Project Euler Problem 001

Statement

If we list all the natural numbers below 10 that are multiples of 3 or 5, we get 3, 5, 6 and 9. The sum of these multiples is 23.

Find the sum of all the multiples of 3 or 5 below 1000.

Solution

This problem needs no explanation.

if __name__ == '__main__':
    result = 0
    for x in range(1,1000):
        result += ((x % 3 == 0) or (x % 5 == 0)) and x or 0
    print("The result is:", result)
