Fizz Buzz

fizzbuzz.sh

#!/bin/bash

# Write a program that prints the numbers from 1 to 100. But for multiples of three print "Fizz"
# instead of the number and for the multiples of five print "Buzz". For numbers which are multiples
# of both three and five print "FizzBuzz".

for i in {1..100} ; do
    num=$i
    [[ $(( $i % 3 )) == 0 ]] && echo -n "Fizz" && num=""
    [[ $(( $i % 5 )) == 0 ]] && echo -n "Buzz" && num=""
    echo $num
done

Having never interviewed as a programmer, I've never had the luxury of solving random programmer problems that hiring managers ask in interviews sometimes. I was reading this article here:

And decided to give the Fizz Buzz problem a try. This took me about all of 2 minutes. I may have spent more time creating this gist and adding the comment than I did on the script. I'm a Linux SysAdmin and I guess these days, you could call me DevOps - not even a programmer by job title. Is it really that bad out there trying to hire programmers?
