FizzBuzz in Python

Hi Everyone~

I hope all is well and you’re staying warm as it’s getting colder. Today I’ll be writing about FizzBuzz in Python!

If you don’t know what FizzBuzz is, it’s a pretty popular and very easy algorithm interviewers can ask you. Additionally, it’s a good warm up algorithm.

Main idea:

Given a range of numbers, if a number is divisible by 3, by 5 or by both, you’ll append “Fizz”, “Buzz” and/or “FizzBuzz” respectively into a new list and return it.

Here are the steps:

1. Create your empty list.
2. Use the range function and combine it with a for loop.
3. Create conditional logic that states if the number is divisible by 3, 5 or 15, push “Fizz”, “Buzz” or “FizzBuzz” into the list. Else if the current iteration is not divisible by any of the numbers listed, push the number into the list.
4. Return the list.

I know I’m being pretty repetitive, but let’s get into it!

list = []
for num in range(1,100):
    
    if num % 3 == 0 and num % 5 == 0:
       list.append(“FizzBuzz”)
    elif num % 3 == 0:
       list.append(“Fizz”)
    elif num % 5 == 0: 
       list.append(“Buzz”)
    else: 
       list.append(num) 
print(list)

And that’s it! it’s so easy! :D

Now you’re a FizzBuzz master :)

Happy Hacking!
