FizzBuzz JavaScript solution

We're all here for fun and games, none of this is production code bruh

Agreed. If you need to adopt FizzBuzz for production use, you are in the wrong place. FizzBuzz enterprise edition is recommended for these use cases https://github.com/EnterpriseQualityCoding/FizzBuzzEnterpriseEdition

let i = 1;
while(i <= 100) {
console.log((${i%3===0?'Fizz':''}${i%5===0?'Buzz':''}) || i)
i++;
}``

Using currying is highly technical but for some reason, I think is not more reliable than one-line code (It divides so many fn to solved). I just think we can use HOC or using closures to limit the context.

If you want fun and games:

new Array(100)
    .fill()
    .map((_,i) => `${i%3===0?'Fizz':''}${i%5===0?'Buzz':''}`)
    .forEach(console.log)

or a little more testable

const fizzbuzz = (_,i) => `${i%3===0?'Fizz':''}${i%5===0?'Buzz':''}`

new Array(10).fill().map(fizzbuzz).forEach(console.log)

@essenmitsosse

The use of forEach is not necessary here since map already traverses the array.
But I like how you used fill

new Array(100).fill().forEach((_,i) => {
    i++
    console.log((`${i%3===0?'Fizz':''}${i%5===0?'Buzz':''}`) || i)
})

@Megafry If you want fizzbuzz to be side-effect free, it still makes sense to separate the two. Also, I usually wouldn't expect map to have a side effect — that's what forEach is for. It is an additional traversal, but in most cases, the gain in clarity should outweigh the performance hit.

Not the smallest / most elegant solution but when that pesky product manager wants to add "boop" on 7 it won't require a refactor

const fizzBuzz = (duration = 100) => Array(duration).fill().map((_, i) => {
  i++
  const subs = new Map([[15, "Fizzbuzz"], [3, "Fizz"], [5, "Buzz"] ])
  const match = Array.from(subs.keys()).find(k => i % k === 0)
  return match ? `${subs.get(match)}` : `${i}`;
})

console.log(fizzBuzz())

case i % 3 == 0 && i % 5 != 0:

default:
console.log(i);

}
}

Thanks man, was looking for switch case implementation on this one.

Which way would be "better regarded" as a best answer, by using for loops or by using .forEach() and .map()? Or it really does not matter as long as the program executes what is expected of it? Cheers

@essenmitsosse

@iuliaGrig The answer is: It depends.

In this example, it's so simple that it doesn't matter for most intents and purposes. For more complex examples a rule of thumb could be:

  • .forEach and .map are generally more readable (even though plenty of people already might disagree). .forEach should be used if there are side-effects to the function (like console.log), .map must be used if you want to create a new list (.forEach doesn't return anything)
  • for-loops are generally more performant, even though the difference only really matters for very large lists

A v8 optimized version (I'd be quite surprised if it can be made faster by keeping the same signature):

function fizzBuzz(limit = 100) {
  var result = new Array(limit),
    f = "Fizz",
    b = "Buzz",
    fb = "FizzBuzz",
    i = 0;

  for (; i + 15 <= limit; i += 15) {
    result[i] = i + 1;
    result[i + 1] = i + 2;
    result[i + 2] = f;
    result[i + 3] = i + 4;
    result[i + 4] = b;
    result[i + 5] = f;
    result[i + 6] = i + 7;
    result[i + 7] = i + 8;
    result[i + 8] = f;
    result[i + 9] = b;
    result[i + 10] = i + 11;
    result[i + 11] = f;
    result[i + 12] = i + 13;
    result[i + 13] = i + 14;
    result[i + 14] = fb;
  }

  var pattern = [0, 0, f, 0, b, f, 0, 0, f, b, 0, f, 0, 0, fb];
  for (; i < limit; i++) result[i] = pattern[i % 15] || i + 1;

  return result;
};
