Why does my Fizzbuzz is not outputting correctly?

Question

I'm creating a Fizzbuzz code but there is a problem with the code where the result is like this:

1
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
1

Here is my code:

word = [3,5]
ans = ["Fizz","Buzz"]

i = 1
j = 0
result = ""

while i <= 20:
    while j <= len(word)-1:
        if i % int(word[j]) == 0 : result += ans[j]
        if result == "" : result = str(i)
        j+=1
    print(result)
    i+=1

The code check on list of the numbers and output the the result or else it will output the number itself.

Answer 1

Well never mind, turns out i found out the answer myself:

word = [3,5]
ans = ["Fizz","Buzz"]

i = 1 
while i <= 100:
    result = ""
    j = 0
    while j < len(word):
        if i % int(word[j]) == 0 : result += ans[j]
        j+=1
    if result == "" : result = str(i)
    print(result)
    i+=1

There is 3 errors that I've found Turns out that the j variable is counting continuously so and it couldn't reset so all I have to do is place the variable j in the first while loop.

while i <= 100:
    j = 0

The second issue is similar to j variable so i've place in the first while loop also:

while i <= 100:
    result = ""
    j = 0

The third errors is within this code:

if result == "" : result = str(i)

so all i have to do i declare it outside the 2 loop and there we have the result right here:

1
2
Fizz
4
Buzz
Fizz
7
8
Fizz
Buzz
11
Fizz
13
14
FizzBuzz
16
17
Fizz
19
Buzz

So here is a lesson I've learn which is : variable acts on where you place it.

Happy coding guys and thank you for your wonderful help and ideas.
