```yml
tests:
  - text: <code>sumMults</code> should be a function.
    testString: assert(typeof sumMults == 'function');
  - text: <code>sumMults(10)</code> should return a number.
    testString: assert(typeof sumMults(10) == 'number');
  - text: <code>sumMults(10)</code> should return <code>23</code>.
    testString: assert.equal(sumMults(10), 23);
  - text: <code>sumMults(100)</code> should return <code>2318</code>.
    testString: assert.equal(sumMults(100), 2318);

```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;
}
