# --description--

The objective is to write a function that finds the sum of all positive multiples of 3 or 5 below *n*.

# --hints--

`sumMults` should be a function.

```js
assert(typeof sumMults == 'function');
```

`sumMults(10)` should return a number.

```js
assert(typeof sumMults(10) == 'number');
```

`sumMults(10)` should return `23`.

```js
assert.equal(sumMults(10), 23);
```

`sumMults(100)` should return `2318`.

```js
assert.equal(sumMults(100), 2318);
```

`sumMults(1000)` should return `233168`.

```js
assert.equal(sumMults(1000), 233168);
```

`sumMults(10000)` should return `23331668`.

```js
assert.equal(sumMults(10000), 23331668);
```

`sumMults(100000)` should return `2333316668`.

```js
assert.equal(sumMults(100000), 2333316668);
```

## --seed-contents--

```js
function sumMults(n) {

}
```

# --solutions--

```js
function sumMults(n) {
  var sum = 0;
  for (var i = 1; i < n; i++) {
    if (i % 3 == 0 || i % 5 == 0) sum += i;
  }
  return sum;
}
```
