I came across a FizzBuzz problem while trying to come up with some sample code. \u00a0The problem is pretty simple.<\/p>\n
Write a program that prints the numbers from 1 to 100. But for multiples of 3 print \u201cFizz\u201d instead of the number and for the multiples of five print \u201cBuzz\u201d. For numbers which are multiple of both 3 and 5, print \u201cFizzBuzz\u201d.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Multiple sources said that only 1% of programmers could solve this problem. \u00a0That makes me think too many people call themselves programmers.<\/span><\/p>\n
It took me about 10 minutes to come up with this in javascript:<\/p>\n
\nfor (var i=1; i <=100; i++) {\n var x = '';\n if (!(i%3)) {\n x += 'Fizz';\n }\n if (!(i%5)) {\n x += 'Buzz';\n }\n if (x.length == 0) {\n x = i;\t\n } \n document.write(x + \"<br>\");\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\nThat worked great. \u00a0You can see it at CodePen<\/a>. \u00a0After I finished, I looked at some other answers and found a couple of ways to improve it. \u00a0Initially, I wanted to else if all the way through my options, but I had a brainfart and didn’t think of checking if it is divisible by 15. \u00a0You can also check to see if x is null and if it is, write i, but I didn’t want to do it that way. \u00a0Here is the final code (CodePen<\/a>):<\/p>\n
\nfor (var i=1; i <=100; i++) {\n var x = '';\n if (!(i%15)) {\n x = 'FizzBuzz';\n } else if (!(i%3)) {\n x = 'Fizz';\n } else if (!(i%5)) {\n x = 'Buzz';\n } else {\n x = i;\t\n } \n document.write(x + \"<br>\");\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\nI hope you enjoyed that. It was a fun exercise. I’ll probably write one in ColdFusion soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
