What is Fizzbuzz?
Fizzbuzz is a classic programming exercise often used in coding interviews to assess a candidate’s basic programming skills and logical thinking. The task is relatively simple: you are required to write a program that prints a series of numbers, replacing some of them with specific words under certain conditions.
Fizzbuzz Rules:
- Iterate through a sequence of numbers (often starting from 1).
- If the current number is divisible by 3, print “Fizz” instead of the number.
- If the current number is divisible by 5, print “Buzz” instead of the number.
- If the current number is divisible by both 3 and 5, print “FizzBuzz”.
- If none of the above conditions apply, print the number itself.
The goal is not just to solve the problem but also to demonstrate the ability to write clean, efficient, and easily understandable code.
Fizzbuzz in Java:
Here’s a simple implementation of the problem in Java:
public class FizzBuzz {
public static void main(String[] args) {
for (int i = 1; i <= 100; i++) {
if (i % 3 == 0 && i % 5 == 0) {
System.out.println("FizzBuzz");
} else if (i % 3 == 0) {
System.out.println("Fizz");
} else if (i % 5 == 0) {
System.out.println("Buzz");
} else {
System.out.println(i);
}
}
}
}
This Java program prints the numbers from 1 to 100, following the rules.
Here’s an implementation of Fizzbuzz in Python:
def fizzbuzz(n):
for i in range(1, n+1):
if i % 3 == 0 and i % 5 == 0:
print("FizzBuzz")
elif i % 3 == 0:
print("Fizz")
elif i % 5 == 0:
print("Buzz")
else:
print(i)
# Call the function with the desired range (e.g., 1 to 100)
fizzbuzz(100)
In this Python program, the fizzbuzz
function takes an integer n
as an argument and prints the Fizzbuzz sequence up to the given number. It follows the same rules as described earlier. To run the program, you can call the fizzbuzz
function with the desired range, such as fizzbuzz(100)
to print the Fizzbuzz sequence up to 100.
Fizzbuzz on LeetCode:
LeetCode is a popular platform for practicing coding problems, including Fizzbuzz. On LeetCode, it often serves as an introductory problem to help users get familiar with the platform’s interface and coding environment. It’s a straightforward problem, but it’s a good starting point for those new to coding challenges.
When you encounter the problem on LeetCode, you’ll be required to implement a solution using the language of your choice. The problem typically asks you to return a list of strings, where each string corresponds to the output for a given number following the rules.
Remember that while it is relatively simple, it’s important to approach it with clean and efficient code. This exercise can also be used as an opportunity to practice writing test cases and modular code design.
