Algorithm

preyes323

First Mental Model

Determine a list of all multiples of a set of factors up to a target value, then filter the list of multiples to the unique values. Finally, compute and return the sum of the unique multiples.

1. Create an empty array called multiples that will contain the list of multiples.
2. Check whether the list of factors is empty. If there are no factors, set the list to [3, 5]
3. For every factor in the factors list:
   1. Set the current_multiple to factor to keep track of the multiples of factor.
   2. While current_multiple < target
      1. Append the current_multiple to multiples.
      2. Add factor to current_multiple.
4. Filter duplicate numbers from multiples.

Where to Start?

In this step, if you have a mental model, you can start there. Otherwise, start with the "Data Structure" step and think of how you'd build and manipulate it to get the output. For instance, if it's an array, you'd probably focus on constructing or iterating over a collection.
