CodeGolf: FizzBuzz

Discussion

Eduard Lebedyuk · Jul 31, 2019

Let's have a round of CodeGolf!

As usual the goal is to write the shortest solution for a specified problem.

Today we have one of the classics: FizzBuzz.

Write a program that prints the numbers from 1 to 100.

But for multiples of three print “Fizz” instead of the number and for the multiples of five print “Buzz”.

For numbers which are multiples of both three and five print “FizzBuzz”

To make output a little more readable (and code - more interesting) let's print only one number or word per line, so correct output should be:

53 bytes raw

f i=1:1:100 w:i#3=0 "Fizz" w:i#5=0 "Buzz" w:'$x i w !

9 0

David Crawford · Jul 31, 2019

This is really cool! But the output from this has the integers next to the strings. For example shouldn't:

FizzBuzz90

Instead be:

FizzBuzz

0 0

Evgeny Shvarov · Jul 31, 2019

I like it! though $X is a "hack" ;)

John Kumpf · Aug 1, 2019

That $x thing is awesome. Can't see this solution being beat.

Julius Kavay · Jul 31, 2019

We can save some more bytes:

f i=1:1:100 w $p(i_",Fizz,Buzz,FizzBuzz",",",i#5=0*2+'(i#3)+1),!

"640K ought to be enough for anybody." Oh, I meant, 64 bytes should be enough.

Wow. I think even our Chinese colleagues will not help to read this)

1 0

Oh dear! It's incredible!

It depends on, what are the requirements...
Usually we want to occupy as few (RAM) bytes as possible.
Yes, it uses the fewest characters but far more bytes as Robert's solution.

it doesn't show numbers at end
if you run it as single line command in a standard Caché terminal supporting $X,$Y.

newline sets $x=0, $i($Y)

2 0

I guess mine doesn't support that! Lol

c'mon - it even works with text files:

3 0

I got it working, just needed some dumb troubleshooting and a terminal restart. Cut me some slack! I've never done a code golf before

Marc Mundt · Jul 31, 2019

But a clever one :)

That was my trigger. Thanks @Eduard Lebedyuk for the hint

Rod Dorman · Aug 1, 2019

It also requires Unicode, it won't work on a 8-bit installation.

Julius Kavay · Aug 1, 2019

No, it works and all installations but yes, it needs 8 Bit characters.

A simple command like

write "abcd"

writes out four 8-Bit characters, independent of your installation (8-Bit or Unicode)

On Evgeny Shvarov's PC, a command like

write "Физз"

would write out four 16Bit characters, in sum 2*4 = 8 characters, each with 8 Bits

Alexey Maslov · Aug 2, 2019

No, it works and all installations but yes, it needs 8 Bit characters

It needs Unicode characters as well, otherwise it fails. Just compare 8 bit instance run:

USER>w "IsUnicode = ",$zbitget($zversion(0),1)
IsUnicode = 0
USER>s x="f i=1:1:100 w:i#3=0 ""Fizz"" w:i#5=0 ""Buzz"" w:'$x i w ! " w $l(x)
54
USER>s xx=$zwpack(x)
 
S xx=$ZWPACK(x)
^
<WIDE CHAR>

with Unicode one:

USER>w "IsUnicode = ",$zbitget($zversion(0),1)
IsUnicode = 1
USER>s x="f i=1:1:100 w:i#3=0 ""Fizz"" w:i#5=0 ""Buzz"" w:'$x i w ! " w $l(x)
54
USER>s xx=$zwpack(x)
USER>x $zwunpack(xx)

Fizz
...

67 bytes raw

f i=1:1:100 w $s(i#15=0:"FizzBuzz",i#3=0:"Fizz",i#5=0:"Buzz",1:i),!

My one)

ClassMethod FizzBuzz()

{

f i=1:1:100 {

s k=i

f a=3,5,15 s:'(i#a) k=$CASE(a,3:"Fizz",5:"Buzz",:"FizzBuzz")

w k,!

}

}

Sourabh Sethi · Jul 31, 2019

I think shortest one will be :

USER>f i=1:1:100 w !,$S(('(i#3)&'(i#5)):"FizzBuzz",'(i#3):"Fizz",'(i#5):"Buzz",1:i)

Not the smallest, but shortest -- 42 characters. Based on Robert's answer.

x $zwunpack("⁦㵩㨱㨱〱‰㩷⍩㴳‰䘢穩≺眠椺㔣&#x303d;∠畂空•㩷␧⁸⁩⁷‡")

Sean Connelly · Jul 31, 2019

I think you will find this is as short as it can possibly go before it starts to become unmaintainable...

fizzbuzz

f ii=1:1:100 {
s i=$tr($t(words+$s(ii#15=0:1,ii#3=0:2,ii#5=0:3,1:4)),"; ")
i i="ii" s i=@i
w !,i
}

words
