Reading the coding horror, I just came across the FizzBuzz another time.
The original post is here: Coding Horror: Why Can\'t Programmers.. Program?
For thos
Ok, what the heck, here's the solution I've come to like :)
public void DoFizzBuzz()
{
for (int i = 1; i <= 100; ++i)
{
bool isDivisibleByThree = i % 3 == 0;
bool isDivisibleByFive = i % 5 == 0;
if (isDivisibleByThree || isDivisibleByFive)
{
if (isDivisibleByThree)
cout << "Fizz";
if (isDivisibleByFive)
cout << "Buzz";
}
else
{
cout << i;
}
cout << endl;
}
}
Obviously, this is not the fastest solution, but I like it because it emphasizes readability and makes the "FizzBuzz" case no longer a special case, but something that will happen naturally through the code path.
In the end, what I love most about this question whenever it comes up is that we get to see just how many different solutions ppl can come up with.
