FizzBuzz Javascript Solution - Bodyless for loop
// Concise
var f='Fizz', b='Buzz', i=0, d3, d5;
for (i; ++i <= 100; d3 = !(i % 3), d5 = !(i % 5), console.log(d3 ? d5 ? f+b : f : d5 ? b : i));
// Multi-line, commented
var /* Declare our variables outside the loop, a performance best-practice */

b='Buzz', /* Variable `b` so we don't repeat 'Buzz' twice - DRY */
i=0, /* For-loop counter, start at 0 */
d3, /* setup a variable for checking divisibility by 3 */
d5; /* setup a variable for checking divisibility by 5 */

d3 = !(i % 3), /* Logically we're testing for i%3 === 0 to be TRUE, indicating
* i is divisible by 3. Instead we test for 0, which also
* represents FALSE in Javascript. Use the ! NOT operator
* to coerce 0 to boolean value 1- which is TRUE. */
