Improve this question
Can someone please correct this code of mine for FizzBuzz? There seems to be a small mistake. This code below prints all the numbers instead of printing only numbers that are not divisible by 3 or 5.
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".
function isDivisible(numa, num) {
if (numa % num == 0) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
};
function by3(num) {
if (isDivisible(num, 3)) {
console.log("Fizz");
} else {
return false;
}
};
function by5(num) {
if (isDivisible(num, 5)) {
console.log("Buzz");
} else {
return false;
}
};
for (var a=1; a<=100; a++) {
if (by3(a)) {
by3(a);
if (by5(a)) {
by5(a);
console.log("\n");
} else {
console.log("\n");
}
} else if (by5(a)) {
by5(a);
console.log("\n");
} else {
console.log(a+"\n")
}
}
for (let i = 1; i <= 100; i++) {
let out = '';
if (i % 3 === 0) out += 'Fizz';
if (i % 5 === 0) out += 'Buzz';
console.log(out || i);
}
/*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”*/
var str="",x,y,a;
for (a=1;a<=100;a++)
{
x = a%3 ==0;
y = a%5 ==0;
if(x)
{
str+="fizz"
}
if (y)
{
str+="buzz"
}
if (!(x||y))
{
str+=a;
}
str+="\n"
}
console.log(str);
Your functions return falsy values no matter what, but will print anyway. No need to make this overly complicated.

Was fooling around with FizzBuzz and JavaScript as comparison to C#.
Here's my version, heavily influenced by more rigid languages:
function FizzBuzz(aTarget) {
for (var i = 1; i <= aTarget; i++) {
var result = "";
if (i%3 === 0) result += "Fizz";
if (i%5 === 0) result += "Buzz";
if (result.length ===0) result = i;
console.log(result);
}
}
I like the structure and ease of read.
Now, what Trevor Dixon cleverly did is relay on the false-y values of the language (false , null , undefined , '' (the empty string) , 0 and NaN (Not a Number)) to shorten the code.
Now, the if (result.length ===0) result = i; line is redundant and the code will look like:
function FizzBuzz(aTarget) {
for (var i = 1; i <= aTarget; i++) {
var result = "";
if (i%3 === 0) result += "Fizz";
if (i%5 === 0) result += "Buzz";
console.log(result || i);
}
}
Here we relay on the || operator to say : "if result is false, print the iteration value (i)". Cool trick, and I guess I need to play more with JavaScript in order to assimilate this logic.
You can see other examples (from GitHub) that will range from things like :
for (var i=1; i <= 20; i++)
{
if (i % 15 == 0)
console.log("FizzBuzz");
else if (i % 3 == 0)
console.log("Fizz");
else if (i % 5 == 0)
console.log("Buzz");
else
console.log(i);
}
No variables here, and just check for division by 15,3 & 5 (my above one only divides by 3 & 5, but has an extra variable, so I guess it's down to microbenchmarking for those who care, or style preferences).
To:
for(i=0;i<100;)console.log((++i%3?'':'Fizz')+(i%5?'':'Buzz')||i)
Which does it all in on line, relaying on the fact that 0 is a false value, so you can use that for the if-else shorthanded version (? :), in addition to the || trick we've seen before.
Here's a more readable version of the above, with some variables:
for (var i = 1; i <= 100; i++) {
var f = i % 3 == 0, b = i % 5 == 0;
console.log(f ? b ? "FizzBuzz" : "Fizz" : b ? "Buzz" : i);
}
All in all, you can do it in different ways, and I hope you picked up some nifty tips for use in JavaScript :)
.fizz and .buzz could be CSS classes, no? In which case:
var n = 0;
var b = document.querySelector("output");
window.setInterval(function () {
n++;
b.classList[n%3 ? "remove" : "add"]("fizz");
b.classList[n%5 ? "remove" : "add"]("buzz");
b.textContent = n;
}, 500);
output.fizz:after {
content: " fizz";
color:red;
}
output.buzz:after {
content: " buzz";
color:blue;
}
output.fizz.buzz:after {
content: " fizzbuzz";
color:magenta;
}
<output>0</output>
With ternary operator it is much simple:
for (var i = 0; i <= 100; i++) {
str = (i % 5 == 0 && i % 3 == 0) ? "FizzBuzz" : (i % 3 == 0 ? "Fizz" : (i % 5 == 0) ? "Buzz" : i);
console.log(str);
}
for(i = 1; i < 101; i++) {
if(i % 3 === 0) {
if(i % 5 === 0) {
console.log("FizzBuzz");
}
else {
console.log("Fizz");
}
}
else if(i % 5 === 0) {
console.log("Buzz");
}
else {
console.log(i)
}
}
In your by3 and by5 functions, you implicitly return undefined if it is applicable and false if it's not applicable, but your if statement is testing as if it returned true or false. Return true explicitly if it is applicable so your if statement picks it up.
As an ES6 generator: http://www.es6fiddle.net/i9lhnt2v/
function* FizzBuzz() {
let index = 0;
while (true) {
let value = ''; index++;
if (index % 3 === 0) value += 'Fizz';
if (index % 5 === 0) value += 'Buzz';
yield value || index;
}
}
let fb = FizzBuzz();
for (let index = 0; index < 100; index++) {
console.log(fb.next().value);
}
Codeacademy sprang a FizzBuzz on me tonight. I had a vague memory that it was "a thing" so I did this. Not the best way, perhaps, but different from the above:
var data = {
Fizz:3,
Buzz:5
};
for (var i=1;i<=100;i++) {
var value = '';
for (var k in data) {
value += i%data[k]?'':k;
}
console.log(value?value:i);
}
It relies on data rather than code. I think that if there is an advantage to this approach, it is that you can go FizzBuzzBing 3 5 7 or further without adding additional logic, provided that you assign the object elements in the order your rules specify. For example:
var data = {
Fizz:3,
Buzz:5,
Bing:7,
Boom:11,
Zing:13
};
for (var i=1;i<=1000;i++) {
var value = '';
for (var k in data) {
value += i%data[k]?'':k;
}
console.log(value?value:i);
}
This is what I wrote:
for (var num = 1; num<101; num = num + 1) {
if (num % 5 == 0 && num % 3 == 0) {
console.log("FizzBuzz");
}
else if (num % 5 == 0) {
console.log("Buzz");
}
else if (num % 3 == 0) {
console.log("Fizz");
}
else {
console.log(num);
}
}
for (var i = 1; i <= 100; i++) {
if (i % 3 === 0 && i % 5 === 0) console.log("FizzBuzz");
else if (i%3 === 0) console.log("Fizz");
else if (i%5 === 0) console.log("Buzz");
else console.log(i);
}
One of the easiest way to FizzBuzz.
Multiple of 3 and 5, at the same time, means multiple of 15.
Second version:
for (var i = 1; i <= 100; i++) {
if (i % 15 === 0) console.log("FizzBuzz");
else if (i%3 === 0) console.log("Fizz");
else if (i%5 === 0) console.log("Buzz");
else console.log(i);
}
In case someone is looking for other solutions: This one is a pure, recursive, and reusable function with optionally customizable parameter values:
const fizzBuzz = (from = 1, till = 100, ruleMap = {
3: "Fizz",
5: "Buzz",
}) => from > till || console.log(
Object.keys(ruleMap)
.filter(number => from % number === 0)
.map(number => ruleMap[number]).join("") || from
) || fizzBuzz(from + 1, till, ruleMap);
// Usage:
fizzBuzz(/*Default values*/);
The from > till is the anchor to break the recursion. Since it returns false until from is higher than till, it goes to the next statement (console.log):
Object.keys returns an array of object properties in the given ruleMap which are 3 and 5 by default in our case.
Then, it iterates through the numbers and returns only those which are divisible by the from (0 as rest).
Then, it iterates through the filtered numbers and outputs the saying according to the rule.
If, however, the filter method returned an empty array ([], no results found), it outputs just the current from value because the join method at the end finally returns just an empty string ("") which is a falsy value.
Since console.log always returns undefined, it goes to the next statement and calls itself again incrementing the from value by 1.
A Functional version of FizzBuzz
const dot = (a,b) => x => a(b(x));
const id = x => x;
function fizzbuzz(n){
const f = (N, m) => n % N ? id : x => _ => m + x('');
return dot(f(3, 'fizz'), f(5, 'buzz')) (id) (n);
}
for more options in the above replace dot with dots as below
const dots = (...a) => f0 => a.reduceRight((acc, f) => f(acc), f0);
function fizzbuzz(n){
const f = (N, m) => n % N ? id : x => _ => m + x('');
return dots(f(3, 'fizz'), f(5, 'buzz'), f(7, 'bam')) (id) (n);
}
Reference: FizzBuzz in Haskell by Embedding a Domain-Specific Language

for (i=1; i<=100; i++) {

Functional style! JSBin Demo
// create a iterable array with a length of 100
// and map every value to a random number from 1 to a 100
var series = Array.apply(null, Array(100)).map(function() {
return Math.round(Math.random() * 100) + 1;
});
// define the fizzbuzz function which takes an interger as input
// it evaluates the case expressions similar to Haskell's guards
var fizzbuzz = function (item) {
switch (true) {
case item % 15 === 0:
console.log('fizzbuzz');
break;
case item % 3 === 0:
console.log('fizz');
break;
case item % 5 === 0:
console.log('buzz');
break;
default:
console.log(item);
break;
}
};
// map the series values to the fizzbuzz function
series.map(fizzbuzz);
Another solution, avoiding excess divisions and eliminating excess spaces between "Fizz" and "Buzz":
var num = 1;
var FIZZ = 3; // why not make this easily modded?
var BUZZ = 5; // ditto
var UPTO = 100; // ditto
// and easily extended to other effervescent sounds
while (num < UPTO)
{
var flag = false;
if (num % FIZZ == 0) { document.write ("Fizz"); flag = true; }
if (num % BUZZ == 0) { document.write ("Buzz"); flag = true; }
if (flag == false) { document.write (num); }
document.write ("<br>");
num += 1;
}
If you're using using jscript/jsc/.net, use Console.Write(). If you're using using Node.js, use process.stdout.write(). Unfortunately, console.log() appends newlines and ignores backspaces, so it's unusable for this purpose. You could also probably append to a string and print it. (I'm a complete n00b, but I think (ok, hope) I've been reasonably thorough.)
"Whaddya think, sirs?"
check this out!
function fizzBuzz(){
for(var i=1; i<=100; i++){
if(i % 3 ===0 && i % 5===0){
console.log(i+' fizzBuzz');
} else if(i % 3 ===0){
console.log(i+' fizz');
} else if(i % 5 ===0){
console.log(i+' buzz');
} else {
console.log(i);
}
}
}fizzBuzz();
Slightly different implementation.
You can put your own argument into the function. Can be non-sequential numbers like [0, 3, 10, 1, 4]. The default set is only from 1-15.
function fizzbuzz (set) {
var set = set ? set : [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15]
var isValidSet = set.map((element) => {if (typeof element !== 'number') {return false} else return true}).indexOf(false) === -1 ? true : false
var gotFizz = (n) => {if (n % 3 === 0) {return true} else return false}
var gotBuzz = (n) => {if (n % 5 === 0) {return true} else return false}
if (!Array.isArray(set)) return new Error('First argument must an array with "Number" elements')
if (!isValidSet) return new Error('The elements of the first argument must all be "Numbers"')
set.forEach((n) => {
if (gotFizz(n) && gotBuzz(n)) return console.log('fizzbuzz')
if (gotFizz(n)) return console.log('fizz')
if (gotBuzz(n)) return console.log('buzz')
else return console.log(n)
})
}
var num = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20];
var runLoop = function() {
for (var i = 1; i<=num.length; i++) {
if (i % 5 === 0 && i % 3 === 0) {
console.log("FizzBuzz");
}
else if (i % 5 === 0) {
console.log("Buzz");
}
else if (i % 3 === 0) {
console.log("Fizz");
}
else {
console.log(i);
}
}
};
runLoop();
Just want to share my way to solve this
for (i = 1; i <= 100; i++){
if (i % 3 === 0 && i % 5 === 0) {
console.log('fizzBuzz');
} else if (i % 3 === 0) {
console.log('fizz');
} else if (i % 5 === 0){
console.log('buzz');
} else {
console.log(i);
}
}
var limit = prompt("Enter the number limit");
var n = parseInt(limit);
var series = 0;
for(i=1;i<n;i++){
series = series+" " +check();
}
function check() {
var result;
if (i%3==0 && i%5==0) { // check whether the number is divisible by both 3 and 5
result = "fizzbuzz "; // if so, return fizzbuzz
return result;
}
else if (i%3==0) { // check whether the number is divisible by 3
result = "fizz "; // if so, return fizz
return result;
}
else if (i%5==0) { // check whether the number is divisible by 5
result = "buzz "; // if so, return buzz
return result;
}
else return i; // if all the above conditions fail, then return the number as it is
}
alert(series);
Thats How i did it :
Not the best code but that did the trick
var numbers = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20];
for(var i = 0 ; i <= 19 ; i++){
var fizz = numbers[i] % 3 === 0;
var buzz = numbers[i] % 5 === 0;
var fizzBuzz = numbers[i] % 5 === 0 && numbers[i] % 3 === 0;
if(fizzBuzz){
console.log("FizzBuzz");
} else if(fizz){
console.log("Fizz");
} else if(buzz){
console.log("Buzz");
} else {
console.log(numbers[i]);
}
}
As much as this is easy logic it can be a daunting task for beginners. Below is my solution to the FizzBuzz problem:
let i = 1;
while(i<=100){
if(i % 3 ==0 && i % 5 == 0){
console.log('FizzBuzz');
}
else if(i % 3 == 0){
console.log('Fizz');
}
else if(i % 5 == 0){
console.log('Buzz');
}
else{
console.log(i);
}
i++;
}
considering performance and readability, please find my take on this problem
way 1: instead of doing a math modules operation in an if loop, which results in performing 3 times taking it a step above reduces the overhead
function fizzBuzz(n) {
let count =0;
let x = 0;
let y = 0;
while(n!==count)
{
count++;
x = count%3;
y = count%5;
if(x === 0 && y ===0)
{
console.log("fizzbuzz");
}
else if(x === 0)
{
console.log("fizz");
}
else if(y === 0)
{
console.log("buzz");
}
else
{
console.log(count);
}
}
}
fizzBuzz(15);
way 2: condensing the solution
function fizzBuzz(n) {
let x = 0;
let y = 0;
for (var i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
var result = "";
x = i%3;
y = i%5;
if (x === 0 && y === 0) result += "fizzbuzz";
else if (x === 0) result += "fizz";
else if (y === 0) result += "buzz";
console.log(result || i);
}
}
fizzBuzz(5)
Here's my favorite solution. Succinct, functional & fast.
const oneToOneHundred = Array.from({ length: 100 }, (_, i) => i + 1);
const fizzBuzz = (n) => {
if (n % 15 === 0) return 'FizzBuzz';
if (n % 3 === 0) return 'Fizz';
if (n % 5 === 0) return 'Buzz';
return n;
};
console.log(oneToOneHundred.map((i) => fizzBuzz(i)).join('\n'));
function fizzBuzz(n) {
for (let i = 1; i < n + 1; i++) {
if (i % 15 == 0) {
console.log("fizzbuzz");
} else if (i % 3 == 0) {
console.log("fizz");
} else if (i % 5 == 0) {
console.log("buzz");
} else {
console.log(i);
}
}
}
fizzBuzz(15);
Different functional style -- naive
fbRule = function(x,y,f,b,z){return function(z){return (z % (x*y) == 0 ? f+b: (z % x == 0 ? f : (z % y == 0 ? b: z))) }}
range = function(n){return Array.apply(null, Array(n)).map(function (_, i) {return i+1;});}
range(100).map(fbRule(3,5, "fizz", "buzz"))
or, to incorporate structures as in above example: ie [[3, "fizz"],[5, "buzz"], ...]
fbRule = function(fbArr,z){
return function(z){
var ed = fbArr.reduce(function(sum, unit){return z%unit[0] === 0 ? sum.concat(unit[1]) : sum }, [] )
return ed.length>0 ? ed.join("") : z
}
}
range = function(n){return Array.apply(null, Array(n)).map(function (_, i) {return i+1;});}
range(100).map(fbRule([[3, "fizz"],[5, "buzz"]]))
OR, use ramda [from https://codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/108449/fizzbuzz-in-javascript-using-ramda ]
var divisibleBy = R.curry(R.compose(R.equals(0), R.flip(R.modulo)))
var fizzbuzz = R.map(R.cond([
[R.both(divisibleBy(3), divisibleBy(5)), R.always('FizzBuzz')],
[divisibleBy(3), R.aklways('Fizz')],
[divisibleBy(5), R.always('Buzz')],
[R.T, R.identity]
]));
console.log(fizzbuzz(R.range(1,101)))

new to JS. In the following code, the isNaN isn't working. If you enter a number in the prompt, the FizzBuzz rules work fine. However, if you enter a random string, I expect the isNaN condition to be met. What am I doing wrong?
let number = parseInt(prompt("Enter a number"));
for(let i = 1; i < number; i++) {
if(isNaN(number)) {
console.log("Is not a number")
} else if(i % 3 === 0 && i % 5 === 0) {
console.log("FizzBuzz")
} else if (i % 3 === 0) {
console.log("Fizz")
} else if (i % 5 === 0) {
console.log("Buzz")
} else {
console.log(i)
}
}
When parseInt can't parse the string to an integer if will return NaN. In your for loop you use number in the condition i < number. If NaN is compared to a number using a comparison operator such as < or > the result will always be false and the loop will not run at all, this is why nothing happens when you enter a random string.
To get the result you are expecting You could put the isNaN check outside the for loop and only run the loop if number is not equal to NaN.
let number = parseInt(prompt("Enter a number"));
if (isNaN(number)) {
console.log("Is not a number")
} else {
for(let i = 1; i < number; i++) {
if(i % 3 === 0 && i % 5 === 0) {
console.log("FizzBuzz")
} else if (i % 3 === 0) {
console.log("Fizz")
} else if (i % 5 === 0) {
console.log("Buzz")
} else {
console.log(i)
}
}
}
As #RobinZigmond correctly pointed out, when you enter an arbitrary string, number will be NaN.
For loop basically consists of:
for (Initialization, Condition, Increment)
Your condition: let i = 1 is run one time, then your condition: i < number is checked, in this case 1 < NaN which is clearly false, as the condition here is not met, you never enter your for loop.
One way to do what you're trying to do is:
let number;
while (!isNaN(number)) {
number = parseInt(prompt("Enter a number"));
}
for(let i = 1; i < number; i++) {
if(i % 3 === 0 && i % 5 === 0) {
console.log("FizzBuzz")
} else if (i % 3 === 0) {
console.log("Fizz")
} else if (i % 5 === 0) {
console.log("Buzz")
} else {
console.log(i)
}
}
let userInput = prompt("Enter a number");
if(isNaN(userInput)) {
console.log("Is not a number")
} else {
let number = parseInt(userInput);
for(let i = 1; i < number; i++) {
if(i % 3 === 0 && i % 5 === 0) {
console.log("FizzBuzz")
} else if (i % 3 === 0) {
console.log("Fizz")
} else if (i % 5 === 0) {
console.log("Buzz")
} else {
console.log(i)
}
}
}
This works as expected (putting the isNaN check outside of the loop.
Move your first if statement out of the loop. It never gets read, because the expression parseInt(string) < number will always return false.
let number = parseInt(prompt("Enter a number"));
if (isNaN(number)) {
console.log("Is not a number")
}
for (let i = 1; i < number; i++) {
if (i % 3 === 0 && i % 5 === 0) {
console.log("FizzBuzz")
} else if (i % 3 === 0) {
console.log("Fizz")
} else if (i % 5 === 0) {
console.log("Buzz")
} else {
console.log(i)
}
}
I am trying to solve the Fizz Buzz question with an extra layer.
This is what I have so far. All this works fine but I need one more extra condition.
It's JS Unit testing
For any other input (valid or otherwise) return a string representation of the input
printFizzBuzz = function(input) {
// Your code goes here
for (var i = 1; i <= 20; i++) {
if (i % 3 === 0 && i % 5 === 0) {
console.log("FizzBuzz");
} else if (i % 3 === 0) {
console.log("FizzBuzz");
} else if (i % 5 === 0) {
console.log("Buzz");
} else {
console.log(i);
}
}
};
Thank you!
You can use .toString() (JS toString) to change the number in string:
function printFizzBuzz(input) {
// Your code goes here
for (var i = 1; i <= 20; i++) {
if (i % 3 === 0 && i % 5 === 0) {
console.log("FizzBuzz");
} else if (i % 3 === 0) {
console.log("FizzBuzz");
} else if (i % 5 === 0) {
console.log("Buzz");
} else {
console.log(i.toString());
}
}
};
printFizzBuzz();
Looking at the question, it is not asking for a loop, it is asking for any value passed to the function. So the answer should look more like this
function printFizzBuzz(input) {
// Your code goes here
if (typeof input !== ‘number’) {
return String(input)
}
let by3 = input % 3
let by5 = input % 5
switch(0) {
case by3 + by5:
return "FizzBuzz"
case by3:
return "Fizz"
case by5:
return "Buzz"
default:
return input.toString()
}
}
}
If I was the interviewer, I would prefer the answer to look more like this
function printFizzBuzz(input) {
// Your code goes here
for (var i = 1; i <= 20; i++) {
let by3 = i % 3
let by5 = i % 5
switch(0) {
case by3 + by5:
console.log("FizzBuzz")
break
case by3:
console.log("Fizz")
break
case by5:
console.log("Buzz")
break
default:
console.log(i.toString())
}
}
}

printFizzBuzz()
I am trying to write a program that prints the numbers from 100 to 200, with three exceptions:
If the number is a multiple of 3, the string "yes" should be returned instead of the number.
If the number is a multiple of 4, the string "yes and yes" instead of the number should be returned.
If the number is a multiple of both 3 and 4, the string "yes, yes and yes" instead of the number.
I am new to JavaScript so I try to do this step by step.
I wrote this code to print the numbers from 100 to 200:
function hundredTwoHundred() {
result = [];
for (let i = 100; i <= 200; i++) {
result.push(i);
}
return result;
}
console.log(hundredTwoHundred());
Then I tried to use else/if for the exceptions:
function hundredTwoHundred() {
result = [];
for (let i = 100; i <= 200; i++) {
if (i % 3 == 0) {
console.log("yes");
} else if (i % 4 == 0) {
console.log("yes and yes")
} else if (i % 3 == 0 && i % 4 == 0) {
console.log("yes, yes and yes");
} else {
result.push(i)
}
}
return result;
}
console.log(hundredTwoHundred());
The code of course, does not work. I have tried moving result.push(i) around, but I don't want to just mindlessly move things around, without knowing the reasoning behind it.
How do I use conditional operators to find these exceptions? What am I doing wrong?
Thank you.
You need to test if the number is (divisible by 3 and divisible by 4) before checking whether it's (individually) divisible by 3 or 4, otherwise the first condition if (i % 3 == 0) will evaluate to true and you'll get yes rather than yes, yes and yes. You should also push to the result in the conditionals rather than console.logging in the conditionals, since you want to create an array of numbers and yeses and then console.log the whole constructed array afterwards.
Also make sure to declare the result with const (or var, for ES5) - it's not good to implicitly create global variables.
Also, although it doesn't matter in this case, when comparing, it's good to rely on === by default rather than == - best to only use == when you deliberately want to rely on implicit type coercion, which can result in confusing behavior.
function hundredTwoHundred() {
const result = [];
for (let i = 100; i <= 200; i++) {
if (i % 3 === 0 && i % 4 === 0) {
result.push("yes, yes and yes");
} else if (i % 3 === 0) {
result.push("yes");
} else if (i % 4 === 0) {
result.push("yes and yes")
} else {
result.push(i)
}
}
return result;
}
console.log(hundredTwoHundred());
If a number is a multiple of 3 and 4, then it is a multiple of 12. I’d also use a switch statement, so you can rewrite as follow:
for (let i = 100; i <= 200; i = i + 1) {
switch (0) {
case i % 12: console.log('yes, yes and yes'); break;
case i % 4: console.log('yes and yes'); break;
case i % 3: console.log('yes'); break;
default: console.log(i);
}
}
If you want it as an array:
// Fill an array with numbers from 100 to 200
const arr = Array(101).fill().map((_, i) => i + 100);
// Map it to numbers and strings
const hundredTwoHundred = arr.map(i => {
switch (0) {
case i % 12: return 'yes, yes and yes';
case i % 4: return 'yes and yes';
case i % 3: return 'yes';
default: return i
}
});
// Print it:
console.log(hundredTwoHundred);
When you have a complex set of conditions you need to be careful with the order in which you evaluate them.
function logExceptions(start, end) {
var divisibleByThree, divisibleByFour;
for (var i = start; i <= end; ++i) {
divisibleByThree = i % 3 == 0;
divisibleByFour = i % 4 == 0;
if (divisibleByThree && divisibleByFour) {
console.log("yes, yes and yes");
}
else if (divisibleByThree) {
console.log("yes");
}
else if (divisibleByFour) {
console.log("yes and yes");
}
else {
console.log(i);
}
}
}
logExceptions(100, 200);
If you want to save the result in an array and only later print it:
function logExceptions(start, end) {
var result = [];
var divisibleByThree, divisibleByFour;
for (var i = start; i <= end; ++i) {
divisibleByThree = i % 3 == 0;
divisibleByFour = i % 4 == 0;
if (divisibleByThree && divisibleByFour) {
result.push("yes, yes and yes");
}
else if (divisibleByThree) {
result.push("yes");
}
else if (divisibleByFour) {
result.push("yes and yes");
}
else {
result.push(i);
}
}
return result;
}
console.log(logExceptions(100, 200).toString());
I'm busy with a udacity excercise and the following question:
A while loop that:
Loop through the numbers 1 to 20
If the number is divisible by 3, print "Julia"
If the number is divisible by 5, print "James"
If the number is divisible by 3 and 5, print "JuliaJames"
If the number is not divisible by 3 or 5, print the number
I keep submitting the answer but it tells me that my while loop condition is incorrect, Is there anything im doing wrong?
var x = 1;
while (x <= 20) {
if (x/3 === 0) {
console.log("julia" );
} // check divisibility
else if (x/5 === 0) {
console.log("james");
}
else if (x/5 === 0 && x/3 === 0 ) {
console.log("juiliajames");
} // print Julia, James, or JuliaJames
else {
console.log(x);
}
x= x + 1;// increment x
}
You need to use Modulus (%) instead of divide (/). And make x % 5 === 0 && x % 3 === 0 as your first condition.
Change your code like following.
var x = 1;
while (x <= 20) {
if (x % 5 === 0 && x % 3 === 0) {
console.log("juiliajames");
} // print Julia, James, or JuliaJames
else if (x % 3 === 0) {
console.log("julia");
} // check divisibility
else if (x % 5 === 0) {
console.log("james");
} else {
console.log(x);
}
x = x + 1; // increment x
}
var x = 1;
while (x <= 20) {
if(x%3 === 0 && x%5 === 0 ){
console.log("juiliajames" );
} // check divisibility
else if(x%3 === 0){
console.log("juilia");
}
else if (x%5 === 0){
console.log("james");
} // print Julia, James, or JuliaJames
else{
console.log(x);
}
x= x + 1;// increment x
}
If you want to check divisibility, you should use the % operator instead of / operator.
Check x divisible by 5 AND 3 at the begining or it will never been done because if it is divisible by 3 your loop won't go to the else if statment.
To check divisibility use modulo (x/3 === 0 only for x = 0)
var x = 1;
while (x <= 20) {
if(x%5 === 0 && x%3 === 0){
console.log("juiliajames" );
}
else if(x%5 === 0){
console.log("james");
}
else if (x%3 === 0 ){
console.log("juilia");
}
else{
console.log(x);
}
x= x + 1;// increment x
}
My approach works by setting bitwise flags on an integer. If it's divisible by three (value % 3 === 0, where % is 'modulo' which gives an integer remainder from division) The first bit is set and if it's divisible by five the second bit is set. That gives a result that could have three binary values 01, 10 or 11, or in decimal 1, 2 & 3 (The three comes about when both bits are set).
var DIVISABLE_BY_THREE = 1;
var DIVISABLE_BY_FIVE = 2;
var DIVISABLE_BY_THREE_AND_FIVE = 3;
var value = 0;
while(value++ < 20) {
var modulo_3 = (value % 3 === 0) | 0;
var modulo_5 = ((value % 5 === 0) | 0) << 1;
switch(modulo_3 | modulo_5) {
case DIVISABLE_BY_THREE:
console.log("Julia");
break;
case DIVISABLE_BY_FIVE:
console.log("James");
break;
case DIVISABLE_BY_THREE_AND_FIVE:
console.log("JuliaJames");
break;
default:
console.log(value);
break;
}
}
var x = 1;
while (x <= 20) {
var name ="";
if (x % 3 == 0) {
name = name + "julia";
}
if (x % 5 == 0) {
name = name + "james";
}
if(name.length > 0)
console.log(name);
else
console.log(x);
x++;
}
I'm trying to solve the famous FizzBuzz quiz but I decided to use the logical operator or instead of else to provide fullback.
for (var num = 1; num <= 100; num++) {
var output;
if (num % 5 === 0 && num % 3 === 0) {
output = "FizzBuzz";
} else if (num % 5 === 0) {
output = "Buzz";
} else if (num % 3 === 0) {
output = "Fizz";
}
console.log(output || num);
}
This was supposed to print all the numbers from 1 to 100, with some exceptions. For numbers divisible by 3, print "Fizz" instead of the number, and for numbers divisible by 5, print "Buzz" instead and "FizzBuzz", for numbers that are divisible by both 3 and 5.
But it doesn't print any numbers.
The output declaration could be num like :
var output = num;
So you don"t have to use the || operator and just print the output directly :
console.log(output);
for (var num = 1; num <= 100; num++) {
var output = num;
if (num % 5 === 0 && num % 3 === 0) {
output = "FizzBuzz";
} else if (num % 5 === 0) {
output = "Buzz";
} else if (num % 3 === 0) {
output = "Fizz";
}
console.log(output);
}
I will say that Zakaria's answer is correct, but for exposure's sake, here is my answer
for (var i = 1; i <= 100; i++) {
var output = "";
if (!(i % 3)) output += "Fizz";
if (!(i % 5)) output += "Buzz";
console.log(output || i);
}
My logic here:
set the output value to be equal to "", which evaluates to a falsey value.
If a number is divisible by 3, then i % 3 will be 0, this is also a falsey value so we flip it by using the ! operator. Assume that i=9, then ! (i%3) = !(9%3) = !(0) = !(false) = true.
Therefore, if !(i%3) becomes true we append our empty string with "Fizz", then we use the same sort of logic for i%5, but instead appending "Buzz"
Note the order of these two if statements is important -- flip them around and you'll get BuzzFizz instead of FizzBuzz.
If output is not the empty string we set it to originally, output || i will return the value of output, giving us "Fizz", "Buzz", or "FizzBuzz" depending.
If ouput is empty, then output || i will return the value for i
Use let to fix the output's scope:
for (var num = 1; num <= 100; num++) {
let output;
if (num % 5 === 0 && num % 3 === 0) {
output = "FizzBuzz";
} else if (num % 5 === 0) {
output = "Buzz";
} else if (num % 3 === 0) {
output = "Fizz";
}
console.log(output || num);
}
Also, the || could be removed if you initialize output with num:
for (var num = 1; num <= 100; num++) {
let output = num;
if (num % 5 === 0 && num % 3 === 0) {
output = "FizzBuzz";
} else if (num % 5 === 0) {
output = "Buzz";
} else if (num % 3 === 0) {
output = "Fizz";
}
console.log(output);
}
