Went a different route but think it works?

Question

It looks like I did this largely in logic and didn't use any variable concepts. Is what I've done less scalable, stable, or transferrable to new applications? Are there benefits to using a variable driven approach? 
name = input("Please enter your name: ")
number = int(input("Please enter a number: "))
print("Hello {}!" .format(name))
print("The number {}..." .format(number)) 
if number % 5 == 0 and number % 3 == 0: 
        print("is a FizzBuzz number.") 
elif number % 3 == 0:
    print("is a Fizz number") 
elif number % 5 == 0: 
    print("is a Buzz number") 
else:
    print("is neither a fizzy or a buzzy number.")
(I modified the question to code-format)
```python
name = input("Please enter your name: ")
number = int(input("Please enter a number: "))
print("Hello {}!" .format(name)) print("The number {}..." .format(number))
if number % 5 == 0 and number % 3 == 0:
    print("is a FizzBuzz number.")
elif number % 3 == 0:
    print("is a Fizz number")
elif number % 5 == 0:
    print("is a Buzz number")
else:
    print("is neither a fizzy or a buzzy number.")
```

I had the same approach as you did @Frances Angulo (https://teamtreehouse.com/francesangulo).
I realized that the better approach was the course sollution.
Not having to change the code too many places if you want it to check for example the numbers 6 and 9 instead.
By our approach you need to change it in 4 lines. In the suggested course sollution you only need to change it in 2 lines.
Imagine a case with several thousand lines!
