The FizzBuzz Test

Interesting way of determining how good a programmer is on Imran's blog, called the FizzBuzz. I took it to make sure I wasn't a crappy comp-sci grad who couldn't program and discovered happily I could. Took just under four minutes to complete, though part of the extra time was I forgot how the '%' operator in Perl worked (returns 0 not 1).

(A) Solution after the read more....

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

foreach my $i ( 1..100) {

   if( not $i % 3 ) {

      print "Fizz\n";

   } elsif( not $i % 5 ) {

      print "Buzz\n";

   } else {

      if( not $i % 3 and not $i % 5 ) {

         print "FizzBuzz\n";

      } else {

         print "$i\n";

      }

   }

}

Here's mine: 



<?php

 for ($i=0;$i<=100;$i++) {

  $br=false;

  if (!is_float($i/3)) {

    echo "Fizz";

    $br = true;

  }

  if (!is_float($i/5)) {

    echo "buzz\r\n";

    $br=false;

  }

  if (is_float($i/3) and is_float($i/5)) {

    echo "$i\r\n";

    $br = false;

  }

  if ($br) {

    echo "\r\n";

  }

}
