fizbuzz - a simple coding challenge

[Hornless.Rhino]

Would it be cheating to just make an array constant of

1

2

fizz

4

buzz

......

and wire it to an indicator?

I love it.

This is my approach for this problem.

Except for the fact that your string won't show any numbers...

[LT2010]

Numeric 2 shows the number and it is easy to add the number to the concatenated string.

Well, it is easy to write a program from scratch that fulfills all requirements of the challenge and yours does not even come close. 😄

• You are slowly displaying a partial result, replacing the previous result. "Printing" implies that all results are visible once the program completes.
• What is the point of the upper numeric indicator?
• Your program takes 100 seconds to complete. That is longer than it should take to solve the challenge.
• You have way too much duplicate code. Why do you need two copies of an empty string, for example?
• Your code operates on numbers 0 ... 99 instead of 1 ... 100 as required.
• ...
• Fail!

Hi altenbach,

Thanks for your detailed post. I am new and learning so it helps me a lot.

I tried to do it with no case structures and with the return being a single string indicator, not an array.  (Full disclosure: I totally stole the array input to Q&R from altenbach).

Not that I want to keep banging on about it, but if you can solve the fizz buzz challenge then you can solve the first problem at Project Euler. If you haven't come across it, take a look.

No-one tried this?

PS: Don't mind the numeric conversions..
