I use this before even calling for interviews, you’d be surprised how many fail. As of now, the most common fail is to check for mod 3 and 5 first, then in another elseif check for 3 and 5 together…

Even if you forget the mod operator, you should still demonstrate cluefulness :)</p> <p>@James has an example of cluefulness in his solution despite forgetting all about mod.</p> <p>@Pete textbook perfect!</p> @Eric I think it just tests whether you can do basic conditional code.

@James has an example of cluefulness in his solution despite forgetting all about mod.

@Pete textbook perfect!

Here’s another solution just for fun:

for ($i=1,$f=’Fizz’,$b=’Buzz’;$i<=100;$i++) echo $i%3+$i%5<1 ? $f.$b : ($i%3<1 ? $f : ($i%5<1 ? $b : $i)), ”;

for($i=1;$i<=100;$i++){ $a = $i%3; $b = $i%5; if(!$a){ if(!$b){ echo $c.$d.$e; }else{ echo $c.$e; } }elseif(!$b){ echo $d.$e; }else{ echo $i.$e; } }
