Different solutions for Fizz Buzz in Ruby
def fizz_buzz_1(max)
arr = []
(1..max).each do |n|
if ((n % 3 == 0) && (n % 5 == 0))
arr << "FizzBuzz"
elsif (n % 3 == 0)
arr << "Fizz"
elsif (n % 5 == 0)
arr << "Buzz"
else
arr << n
end
end
return arr
end
def fizz_buzz_2(max)
arr = []
(1..max).each do |n|
if (n % 3 == 0)
if (n % 5 == 0)
arr << "FizzBuzz"
else
arr << "Fizz"
end
elsif (n % 5 == 0)
arr << "Buzz"
else
arr << n
end
end
return arr
end
def fizz_buzz_3(max)
arr = []
(1..max).each do |n|
text = ""
if (n % 3 == 0)
text << "Fizz"
end
if (n % 5 == 0)
text << "Buzz"
end
if !((n % 3 == 0) || (n % 5 == 0))

Poor man's pattern matching:

fizzbuzz =
  (1..100).map do |n|
    case [n % 3, n % 5].map(&:zero?)
    when [true, true]
      "FizzBuzz"
    when [true, false]
      "Fizz"
    when [false, true]
      "Buzz"
    else
      n
    end
  end
puts fizzbuzz

What I like about this approach is that you avoid the duplicate n % x == 0 conditions that are necessary in the if else version without having to resort to i % 15 which always seemed hacky to me, without going too crazy like many of the purely un-conditional fizzbuzzes out there.

How many times has this problem been solved already? Idiomatic Ruby embraces the DRY principle. Not just in your own code base, but the entire internet.

require 'curb'
require 'nokogiri'

class Dry

  # Why copy & paste answers from stack overflow when you can curl & eval them!
  # Expects a url#answer-id and a hash of adjustments to the answer code to gsub over
  def self.fuck_it_just_copy_something_from_stackoverflow(url, adjustments)
    # build the adjustment lambda
    edit = "lambda { |method_string| method_string"
    adjustments.each { |k,v| edit += ".gsub('#{k}', '#{v}')" }
    edit += "}"

    # then get some of that overflow goodness
    answer = url.split('#').last
    @doc ||= Nokogiri::HTML Curl.get(url).body_str
    @doc.css("#answer-#{answer} code").each do |code|
      # Oh yeah, it's lambda time! Eval the edit string, pass it the overflow code and eval the resulting lambda
      return eval eval(edit).call code.content
    end
  end
end

100.times do |number|
  url = 'http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24435547/ruby-fizzbuzz-not-working-as-expected#24435693'
  adjustments = {'puts' => 'return', 'def fizzbuzz(n)' => 'lambda do |n|'}
  p Dry.fuck_it_just_copy_something_from_stackoverflow(url, adjustments).call(number).last.to_s
end

I really like this solution from reddit:

a=b=c=(1..100).each do |num|
  print num, ?\r,
    ("Fizz" unless (a = !a) .. (a = !a)),
    ("Buzz" unless (b = !b) ... !((c = !c) .. (c = !c))),
    ?\n
end

This one requires presence from Rails (i.e., it works in rails console):

puts 1.upto(100).map { |n| "#{'Fizz' if n%3==0}#{'Buzz' if n%5==0}".presence || n }

When I thought we already had way too many solutions... !

module BeingMultiple
  refine Integer do
    def eitherFizzOrBuzz!
      return "FizzBuzz" if multiple?(3) && multiple?(5)
      return "Fizz" if multiple?(3)
      return "Buzz" if multiple?(5)
      self
    end
    
    private
    
    def multiple?(target)
      self % target == 0
    end
  end
end

using BeingMultiple

puts (1..n).map(&:eitherFizzOrBuzz!).join("\n")
