FizzBuzz Solution Dumping Ground

Ivan · February 28, 2007, 12:00am

To the perl 1 liner author:
for (1…100) {print $_ unless (($_ % 3 ? 0 : print “Bizz”) || ($_ % 5 ? 0 : print “Fuzz”));}

When you hit multiples of 3 and 5, it doesn’t print BizzFuzz. Nice try though.

Here’s my favorite implementation. It is better then everyone else’s because it does not require a single modulo calculation! It can also fit on one line (a really long line!).

printf(“1\n2\nFizz\n4\nBuzz\nFizz\n7\n8\nFizz\n10\n11\n … Fizz\n100”);

Thought I’d post a version in bash, just for kicks:

#!/bin/bash

TEST_DIVISOR_1=3
TEST_DIVISOR_2=5
UPPER_LIMIT=100

i=1
while [ $i -lt $(($UPPER_LIMIT+1)) ];
do
printed_text=0
if [ $(($i%$TEST_DIVISOR_1)) -eq 0 ]; then
echo -n "Fizz"
printed_text=1
fi
if [ $(($i%$TEST_DIVISOR_2)) -eq 0 ]; then
echo -n "Buzz"
printed_text=1
fi
if [ $printed_text -eq 0 ]; then
echo -n $i
fi
echo ""
i=$(($i+1))
done

Plain C:

int i;
for (i = 0; i = 100 ; i++) {
if ((i % 3 == 0) (i % 5 == 0))
printf(“FizzBuzz\n”);
else if (i % 3 == 0)
printf(“Fizz\n”);
else if (i % 5 == 0)
printf(“Buzz\n”);
else printf("%d\n", i);
}
I think that one word/number per line is more readable for such a useful piece of software…

no one has done this one either ( I like the ‘?’ operator). Its wonderfully confusing and only two statements:

for(int i=1;i=100;i++)
printf( !(i%3) || !(i%5) ? “%s\n”: “%d\n”,
!(i%3) !(i%5) ? “FizzBuzz”:
!(i%3) ? “Fizz”:
!(i%5) ? “Buzz”:
i);

If you’re system does not have modulo (oldschool!) or you’re afraid that doing modulo may be a big performance problem (1khz clockspeed) here’s a solution that requires only additions:

int m3 = 1;
int m5 = 1;
for(int i=1;i=100;i++) {
printf( !m3 || !m5 ? “%s\n”: “%d\n”,
!m3 !m5 ? “FizzBuzz”:
!m3 ? “Fizz”:
!m5 ? “Buzz”:
i);
if(++m3 == 3)
m3 = 0;
if(++m5 == 5)
m5 = 0;
}

Or if you wanted to make the second half of the loop more complicated and wanted to get rid of all branching (only smart compilers would get rid of the branching), then you could do this:
m3 += (m3 == 2) ? -2 : 1;
m5 += (m3 == 4) ? -4 : 1;

78 chars:

perl -le’print$%15==0?“FizzBuff”%3==0?“Fizz”%5==0?“Buzz” for 1…100’

Using naughty syntax we can get it down to 72 chars:

perl -le’print$%15==0?FizzBuff:$%3==0?Fizz:$%5==0?Buzz:$ for 1…100’

Here’s the same program with sane indenting: http://rafb.net/p/QLtUvx47.html

example output:

1
2
Fizz
4
Buzz
Fizz
…
FizzBuff
91
92
Fizz
94
Buzz
Fizz
97
98
Fizz
Buzz
END

"90% of people can’t touch one’s elbow with one’s tongue."
Hmm, can i?

for(int i=1;i=100;i++)
{
printf(i%3==0i%5==0?“fizzbuzz\n”:(i%3==0?“fizz\n”:(i%5==0?“buzz\n”:"%d\n")),i);
}

Have a nice day!

Love my old VB. Do it all backwards.

List1.Clear
Dim n As Integer, out As String
For n = 1 To 100
    out = vbNullString
    out = IIf(n Mod 3 = 0, "Fizz", vbNullString) + IIf(n Mod 5 = 0, "Buzz", vbNullString)
    If out = vbNullString Then out = n
    Call List1.AddItem(out)
Next

Blazing fast LUT implementation by a coworker:

#include stdio.h

#define max 1000000

int main(void)
{
char X[250] = “%d \n%d \nfizz \n%d \nbuzz \nfizz \n%d \n%d \nfizz \nbuzz \n%d \nfizz \n%d \n%d \nfizzbuzz\n\0”;
int modu = max % 15;
int full = max - modu;
unsigned int a;
for(a = 1; a full; a += 15)
printf(X, a, a + 1, a + 3, a + 6, a + 7, a + 10, a + 12, a + 13);
X[modu * 9] = 0;
printf(X, a, a + 1, a + 3, a + 6, a + 7, a + 10, a + 12, a + 13);
}

Edward · February 28, 2007, 12:00am

on second thoughts

For n = 1 To 100
    out = IIf(n Mod 3 = 0, "Fizz", vbNullString)
    out = IIf(n Mod 5 = 0, out + "Buzz", out)
    out = IIf(out = vbNullString, n, out)
    Call List1.AddItem(out)
Next

is more consistent

zanpakatou · February 28, 2007, 12:00am

since you guys coded the solution to the FizzBuzz problem in most of the language and most of the language i know is C based so maybe i thought make an algorithm/pseudo code maybe that’s where most new graduates failed to do or atleast imagine in their heads on how to come up with a solution.

start
declare variable named i
declare variables named x and y
set x to the remainder of i devided by 3
set y to the remainder of i devided by 5
if x and y equals to zero print the word FizzBuzz and jump to step 10 else jump to step 7
if x equals to zero print the word Fizz and jump to step 10 else jump to step 8
if y equals to zero print the word Buzz and jump to step 10 else jump to step 9
print the value of i
if i is less than or equal to 100 jump increment i by 1 and and jump to step 4 else jump to step 11
print the word “Done”
end

or at least master the flowchart in their head.

NickD1 · February 28, 2007, 12:00am

Saw many implementation but no BASH script version, figured I’d include that:

#!/bin/bash

declare CNT=0

while [ $CNT -le 100 ]; do
[ $((CNT % 3)) -eq 0 ] echo -n “Fizz”
[ $((CNT % 5)) -eq 0 ] echo -n “Buzz”
[ $((CNT % 3)) -ne 0 -a $((CNT % 5)) -ne 0 ] echo -n $CNT
echo ""
CNT=$((CNT+1))
done

I’m just leaning java.
more familiar with vb.vet
took 3 minutes - with all of that spent on
sorting out (still unfamiliar) if else {} syntax.

for (int i = 0; i = 100; i++) {
if (i % 3 == 0 i % 5 == 0)
System.out.println(“fizzBuzz_3_5”);
else if (i % 3 == 0)
System.out.println(“fizz_3”);
else if ( i % 5 == 0 )
System.out.println(“buzz_5”);
else
System.out.println(i);
}

JLaw · February 28, 2007, 12:00am

But do they have COMMUNICATION/TEAMWORK skills?

Another MS SQL version - not elegant, but it works:
note: Begins and Ends not required but included for readability

declare @loopcount int

set @loopcount = 100

while (@loopcount 2)
begin
if @loopcount % 3 = 0
Begin
print ‘Fizz’ + cast(@loopcount as char)
End
else
if @loopcount % 5 = 0
Begin
print ‘Bang’ + cast(@loopcount as char)
End

	if (@loopcount % 3 = 0 and @loopcount % 5 = 0)
		Begin
			print 'FizzBang'   + cast(@loopcount as char)
		End

     set @loopcount = @loopcount -1

end

// Here’s my attempt at an elegant C(++) solution.
// I’ll assume the appropriate headers are included.
// This snippet can be put into main or elsewhere.
// I’m a bit rusty with the details, as I haven’t
// C++'ed in years.

#DEFINE FACTOR0 3 // Using macros for easier portability to other
#DEFINE STRING0 “Fizz” // uses, without increasing code size, memory
#DEFINE FACTOR1 5 // needs, or decreasing performance.
#DEFINE STRING1 “Buzz”

for(int i=1; i=100; i++;)
{if(!(i%FACTOR0)) printf(STRING0);
elseif(!(i%FACTOR1)) printf(STRING1);
else printf("%i", i);
printf("\n");}

DarkChuky · February 28, 2007, 12:00am

I cann’t resist… some people forget to print the number and another prints the number and the word… The requirements say: “Instead of the number print the word”

for (int i=0; i101; i++)
{
if (i%3==0)//Print if is multiple of 3 print Buzz and not the #
{
cout “Fizz”;
}
else//not multiple of 3
{
if (i%5==0)//Print if is multiple of 5 print Buzz and not the #
{
cout “Buzz”;
}
else//not multiple of 5
{
if (i%5==0 i%3==0)//Print if is multiple of 3 AND 5 print
//Fizzbuzz and not the #
{
cout “Fizzbuzz”;
}
else//not multiple of 3 or 5… then print the number
{
cout i;
}
}
}
cout"\n"; //just endline for every case
}

Thanks… it works for C++, Java or C# just change the COUT lines for the output.

Javier · February 28, 2007, 12:00am

My PHP version:
for ( $i = 1; $i = 100; $i++){
if ( $i % 3 == 0 ) $print = ‘Fizz’;
if ( $i % 5 == 0 ) $print .= ‘Buzz’;
if ( !isset($print) ) $print = $i;
echo $print.‘br /’;
unset($print);
}
Is clear and easy

elijans · February 28, 2007, 12:00am

pft…its really easy although time consuming. Thats why I can’t see this as a way to test programmers skills… it took me like 30 minutes to solve this problem. each candidate * 30 minutes…figure it out!

anyway, here is my solution. (I had to use calculator after 25)

print 2
print "Fizz"
print 4
print "Buzz"
print "Fizz"

print "Fizz"
print "Buzz"
print 71

print "Fizz"
print 97
print 98
print "Fizz"
print “Buzz”

Brandon · February 28, 2007, 12:00am

Method with one less if statement since 3 and 5 aren’t mutually exclusive and variable names.

void main()
{
for (int i = 1; i = 100; i++)
{
bool isdiv3 = !(i % 3);
bool isdiv5 = !(i % 5);
if (isdiv3) cout “Fizz”;
if (isdiv5) cout “Buzz”;
if (!(isdiv3 || isdiv5)) cout i;
cout “\n”;
}
}

Bassam · February 28, 2007, 12:00am

Ignoring the language for now, the simplest way to do this is IMO:

for (int i = 0; i 101; ++i)
{
if (i % 3 == 0) then
{
printf(“Fizz”);
}
else
{
if (i % 5 == 0) then
{
printf(“Buzz”);
}
else
{
printf("%d", i);
}
}
}
