# Problem: Add all the natural numbers below one thousand that are multiples of 3 or 5.
# Description: 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.

unless (n%3).zero? || (n%5).zero?
next
else
sum += n
puts sum if n == limit
