Hello, I’m Yuki, a student engineer.

If you want to become an engineer, you probably see FizzBuzz problems in entry-level tests or intern coding tests.

I think FizzBuzz problems are a great way to learn programming thinking, so I’m going to write an article about them.

What is FizzBuzz proplem?

The FizzBuzz problem was proposed by Jeff Atwood, co-owner of Stack Overflow.

It is often used to identify whether an aspiring programmer can code.

The FizzBuzz problem is here.

Write programming to output numbers from 1 to 100.

However, when the number is a multiple of 3, output Fizz instead of the number, when the number is a multiple of 5, output Buzz instead of the number, and when the number is a multiple of 3 and 5, output FizzBuzz.

How to implement the code

The algorithm for the FizzBuzz questions is as follows.

Multiples of 3 and multiples of 5 → FizzBuzz

Multiple of 3 → Fizz

Multiples of 5 → Buzz

Other multiples→Output a number

Coding

Here is the implementation code

for i in range(1,101):
  if i % 3 == 0 and i % 5 == 0:
    print("FizzBuzz")
  elif i % 3 == 0:
    print("Fizz")
  elif i % 5 == 0:
    print("Buzz")
  else:
    print(i)

Output:

1
2
Fizz
4
Buzz
Fizz
7
8
Fizz
Buzz
11
Fizz
13
14
FizzBuzz

At the end

Many programmers seem to be solving FizzBuzz problems with restrictions such as how short the code should be, how it should be implemented without using the “%” sign, and so on.

If you can solve FizzBuzz problems, you are on your way to becoming a great programmer.
