Python FizzBuzz

Question

I have been given this question to do in Python:

Take in a list of numbers from the user and run FizzBuzz on that list.

When you loop through the list rememb

Answer 1

Here's how I did it using generators. Explanations are added as comments.

# the factors to check for, along with its
# associated text data.
FACTORS = {
    3 : "Fizz",
    5 : "Buzz",
}


def fizzbuzz(start, stop):
    """FizzBuzz printer"""
    for i in range(start, stop+1):
        string = ""  # build string

        # iterate through all factors
        for j, dat in FACTORS.items():
            # test for divisibility
            if i % j == 0:
                # add data to string if divisible
                string += dat

        if not string:
            # if string's length is 0, it means,
            # all the factors returned non-zero
            # modulus, so return only the number
            yield str(i)
        else:
            # factor had returned modulo as 0,
            # return the string
            yield string


if __name__ == "__main__":
    for each in fizzbuzz(1, 100):
        print(each)

This version has the advantage of not depending on any extra factor checks.
