I was just reading that 99/100 job applicants for programming jobs
apparently cannot write a short "fizzbuzz" program when given 10
minutes to do so in an interview.
The rules are simple -
write out the values 1 to 100 on screen
If the value is divisble by 3 write 'FIZZ' after the number
If the value is divisble by 5 write 'BUZZ' after the number
If the value is divisble by 3 and 5 write 'FIZZBUZZ' after the number
My inelegant machine code program (untested) is:
Sorry - made an error when typing the 68000 assembly language in - I
hit a key which submitted the form!
<m/c snipped>
I am sure plenty can write this in SuperBASIC, but is there a simpler
solution in machine code?
Well the first sb attempt:
10 FOR j = 1 TO 100
15 sp$ = " ";
20 PRINT j;
20 if j/3 == int(j/3)
25 sp$="";
30 PRINT " FIZZ";
40 END IF
30 IF j/5 == int(j/5)
40 PRINT sp$&"BUZZ";
50 END IF
60 PRINT
70 END FOR
2.5 mins
Now my sB is *very* rusty and I spend my life in Perl and Python, so
their syntax may have crept in.
I forget whether "==" is needed - I think not.It is in Perl.
