# Write a program that prints the numbers from 1 to 100. But for multiples of three print "Fizz" 
# instead of the number and for the multiples of five print "Buzz". For numbers which are 
# multiples of both three and five print "FizzBuzz".

# This is a moldly oldie in the programmer community, it's known as "FizzBuzz" (for obvious
# reasons). Here's a blog post:

# This solution runs through every number between 1 and 100, checks if they are evenly 
# divisible by five, three, or both five and three, and prints the appropriate thing.

# range function: http://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html#range
# % is the modulo operator. It divides the value of one expression by the value of another, 
# and returns the remainder.
