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“;

}

}

}

  1. 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";
}
}
