8. FizzBuzz
Print numbers 1-100.
For multiples of 3, print “Fizz”.
For multiples of 5, print “Buzz”.
For multiples of 3 and 5, print “FizzBuzz”.

9. fizzbuzz.rb
1.upto(100) do |i|
if i % 15 == 0
puts "FizzBuzz"
elsif i % 3 == 0
puts "Fizz"
elsif i % 5 == 0
puts "Buzz"
else
puts i
end
end

17. How can we make this
more fun?
Wednesday, July 3, 13
18. Fun with DSLs
class FizzBuzz < Bazinator
default_rule ->(i){ i }
rule ->(i){"Fizz" if i % 3 == 0 }
rule ->(i){"Buzz" if i % 5 == 0 }
end
FizzBuzz.new(1..100).print

20. ActiveRecord-style
class Bazinator
attr_accessor :range
def initialize(range)
@range = range
end
def rules
@@rules
end
def default_rule
@@default_rule
end
def self.default_rule(rule)
@@default_rule = rule
end
def self.rule(rule)
@@rules ||= []
@@rules << rule
end
...
Wednesday, July 3, 13
21. ActiveRecord-style
...
def run_rules(i)
results = rules.map{|rule| rule.call(i) }
results.delete_if(&:nil?)
results << default_rule.call(i) if results.empty?
results
end
def each(&block)
range.each do |i|
yield run_rules(i).join('')
end
end
def print
each do |item|
puts item
end
end
end
Wednesday, July 3, 13
22. I can haz DSL.
class FizzBuzz < Bazinator
default_rule ->(i){ i }
rule ->(i){"Fizz" if i % 3 == 0 }
rule ->(i){"Buzz" if i % 5 == 0 }
end
FizzBuzz.new(1..100).print

26. Function Pointers++#define MAX_BUFF 10
#define NUMBER_FUNCTIONS 2
const char* (*dispatch[NUMBER_FUNCTIONS])(int i) = {fizz,buzz};
void itoa(int i, char* a) {
snprintf(a, sizeof(a), "%i", i);
}
void clear(char* s) {
strncpy(s, "", sizeof(s));
}
void run_functions(int i, char* result) {
int f;
for(f=0; f < NUMBER_FUNCTIONS; f++) {
strlcat(result,(*dispatch[f])(i),sizeof(result));
}
}
void add_number(int i, char* result) {
char number[MAX_BUFF];
if(strnlen(result,sizeof(result)) < 1) {
itoa(i,number);
strlcat(result,number,sizeof(result));
}
}

27. Somewhere, Knuth is
crying.
int main(){
char result[MAX_BUFF];
int i;
for(i=1; i < 100; i++) {
clear(result);
run_functions(i, result);
add_number(i, result);
printf("%sn", result);
}
return 0;
}

28. But wait, Java is missing
out.
package com.sentientmonkey.fizzbuzz;
import com.sentientmonkey.fizzbuzz.service.FizzBuzzService;
public class Runner {
public static void main(String[] args) {
FizzBuzzService fizzBuzz = new FizzBuzzService();
fizzBuzz.print(1, 100);
}
}
Wednesday, July 3, 13
30. First you get the Service
Facade.
package com.sentientmonkey.fizzbuzz.service;
import com.sentientmonkey.fizzbuzz.rules.*;
public class FizzBuzzService {
RuleManager ruleManager;
public FizzBuzzService() {
ruleManager = new RuleManager();
ruleManager.addRule(new FizzRule());
ruleManager.addRule(new BuzzRule());
ruleManager.addRule(new DefaultRule());
}
public void print(int start, int end) {
for (int i = start; i <= end; i++) {
System.out.println(ruleManager.evaluateRules(i));
}
}
}
Wednesday, July 3, 13
31. Then you get the
Manager.
package com.sentientmonkey.fizzbuzz.rules;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class RuleManager {
ArrayList<Rule> rules;
public RuleManager() {
rules = new ArrayList<Rule>();
}
public void addRule(Rule rule) {
rules.add(rule);
}
public String evaluateRules(int number) {
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
for (Rule rule : rules) {
rule.withBuilder(builder).append(number);
}
return builder.toString();
}
}
Wednesday, July 3, 13
32. Now you get a Builder.
package com.sentientmonkey.fizzbuzz.rules;
public abstract class Rule {
StringBuilder builder = null;
public Rule withBuilder(StringBuilder builder) {
this.builder = builder;
return this;
}
public abstract void append(int number);
}
Wednesday, July 3, 13
36. le java.
package com.sentientmonkey.fizzbuzz;
import com.sentientmonkey.fizzbuzz.service.FizzBuzzService;
public class Runner {
public static void main(String[] args) {
FizzBuzzService fizzBuzz = new FizzBuzzService();
fizzBuzz.print(1, 100);
}
}
Wednesday, July 3, 13
37. Don’t forget clojure.
(defn fizz [i]
(if(= (mod i 3) 0)
"Fizz"))
(defn buzz [i]
(if(= (mod i 5) 0)
"Buzz"))
(defn join [a b]
(str a b))
(defn run-rules [numbers]
(map join (map fizz numbers) (map buzz numbers)))
(defn number [s n]
(if (= s "")
n
s))
Wednesday, July 3, 13
38. Something clever about
McCarthy.
(defn fizzbuzz [start end]
(let
[numbers (range start end)]
(doall
(map println
(map number
(run-rules numbers) numbers)))))
(fizzbuzz 1 100)
Wednesday, July 3, 13
39. or javascript
function fizz(i) {
if((i % 3) == 0){
return "Fizz";
}
}
function buzz(i) {
if((i % 5) == 0){
return "Buzz";
}
}
var rules = [fizz,buzz];
Wednesday, July 3, 13
40. or javascript.
function default_rule(result,i){
if(result.length > 0) {
return result;
} else {
return i;
}
}
function fizz_buzz(start,end) {
for(var i=start; i<=end; i++) {
var result = rules.map(function(rule){
return rule(i);
}).join('');
print(default_rule(result,i));
}
};
fizz_buzz(1,100);

41. So what did we learn?
• Interviewees: Even fizzbuzz can be fun
• Interviewers:Ask better interview questions
• Everyone: Coding is still hard
