Multiples of 3 or 5 Codewars Python

If we list all the natural numbers below 10 that are multiples of 3 or 5, we get 3, 5, 6 and 9. The sum of these multiples is 23.

Finish the solution so that it returns the sum of all the multiples of 3 or 5 below the number passed in. Additionally, if the number is negative, return 0 (for languages that do have them).

Note: If the number is a multiple of both 3 and 5, only count it once.

 

def solution(number):
    # create a list to populate
    answers = []
    
    # loop through all numbers in the range
    for i in range(number):
        # if divisible by 3 or 5 and within range
        if (i%3==0 or i%5==0) and i0:
            # add to the answers list
            answers.append(i)
        
    # return the sum of the answers
    return sum(answers)
