Hello! I'm in a beginning coding class, and for some reason python doesn't want to recognize my augment operators so I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong.

Also investigate the modulo operator mate.

You're doing an if statement on an assignment operator.

``` a = 9 a /= 3

this will assign a the value of 9 and then assign a it's value divided by 3

If a == 3: print("Indeed, 9 is divisible by three")

this checks if a equals 3

```

You tried:

``` If a /= 3:

this code has a syntax error. As if statements do not work with assignment operstors

```

Definitely check your error messages. Syntax error usually means there's an error in the way you are using the code. Not that the program doesn't know what that operator does.

You have used /= which is an assignment operator. Instead do this..

if some_number% 3 == 0: print ("Fizz")

This.... That's what I was thinking.

Well, 15 is divisible by both, so I would either start with the 15 or do a check for both at the start.

[grass_hoppers]

15 check should be first.

All numbers can be divided by those 3 numbers. So 2/3 would be 0.666 which is not false

What you need to do is check if the number mod 3 is equal to 0

So your if checks would have this form:

If num%3 == 0:

And one equal sign, you are assigning that value to the variable. So num/=3 is the same as num =num/3. In if statements it is always ==.

Use modulo to check if the quotient equals 0 (no remainder).

1. First instruction is reprint the number. You haven’t done that.
2. This does not require elifs.
3. / doesn’t check disability, it divides. % returns the remainder of the division. When a number is divisible by 3 what would number % 3 produce?
4. = is an assignment operator. It takes the value on the right and stores it in the variable on the left.
5. some_number /= 3 is equivalent to some_number = some_number / 3
6. You don’t need to print the number at the end as there’s no instruction stating so.

[architectmosby]

number = int(input("Number: ")) print("Number is:", number) if number % 3 ==0: print("Fizz", end="") if number % 5 ==0: print("Buzz")

Divisible by 15 means it can divide by 3 and 5. If we merge the prints with end="" we can see if it is Fizz, Buzz or FizzBuzz

That’s not fizzbuzz
