The article conceit is fantastic. That said, is the going-in algo wrong?
I see a case for 3 * 5 in here:
for n in range(1, 101):
if n % 15 == 0:
print('FizzBuzz')
elif n % 3 == 0:
print('Fizz')
elif n % 5 == 0:
print('Buzz')
else:
print(n)
Why?If we add 'Bazz' for mod 7, are we going to hardcode:
for n in range(1, 105):
if n % 105 == 0: # 3 * 5 * 7
print('FizzBuzzBazz')
elif n % 15 == 0: # 3 * 5
print('FizzBuzz')
elif n % 21 == 0: # 3 * 7
print('FizzBazz')
elif n % 35 == 0: # 5 * 7
print('BuzzBazz')
elif n % 3 == 0:
print('Fizz')
elif n % 5 == 0:
print('Buzz')
elif n % 7 == 0:
print('Bazz')
else:
print(n)
Or should we have done something like: for n in range(1, 105):
out = ''
if n % 3 == 0:
out += 'Fizz'
if n % 5 == 0:
out += 'Buzz'
if n % 7 == 0:
out += 'Bazz'
print(out or n)
I've been told sure, but that's a premature optimization, 3 factors wasn't in the spec. OK, but if we changed our minds on even one of the two factors, we're having to find and change 2 lines of code ... still seems off.Sort of fun to muse whether almost all FizzBuzz implementations are a bit wrong.
