Can You Code?

In any language. How long did it take you?

"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?.

Using FizzBuzz to Find Developers who Grok Coding

This is nothing more than a for loop and three if statements that check the modulo of the incremented number.

Don't give it away!

I can't currently code but about 10 years ago I was learning some programming in school and if I only remember the functions I could easily write a program like this. I can see what to do in what order and basically I see the whole program in my head. It is a simple loop. I remember I was doing something similar and it wasn't hard at all.

It would be something like:
a=1
while a=<100 do b=a/3, c=a/5,
if b=/=whole figure and c=/=whole figure print a,
if b=whole figure and c=/=whole figure print "Fizz",
if b=/=whole figure and c=whole figure print "Buzz",
if b=whole figure and c=whole figure print "FizzBuzz",
a=a+1,
repeat while.

Writing this took me like 2 mins (including thinking and remembering). I just don't remember how to check the "whole figure" thing but considering I last worked with the language 10 years ago, it was only like 3 months of 1 hour a week in my high school and I don't even know what the language was called I quess I did well anyway.

With C++. It took me about as long as I expected to code this:

EDIT: I see the post now where I'm not supposed to give it away.

Ah, I love Python. Easy to spot my mistake (I needed an elif, not an if...).

I didn't take me that long to do.

Took about 3-4 minutes in Java. Mostly due to typing errors.

I need a plugin to get Eclipse to emulate VI for editing - I was always able to type faster that way.
