Fizz Buzz

Problem

Given an integer n, return a string array answer (1-indexed) where:

  • answer[i] == “FizzBuzz” if i is divisible by 3 and 5.
  • answer[i] == “Fizz” if i is divisible by 3.
  • answer[i] == “Buzz” if i is divisible by 5.
  • answer[i] == i (as a string) if none of the above conditions are true.

Example 1:

Input: n = 3
Output: ["1","2","Fizz"]

Example 2:

Input: n = 5
Output: ["1","2","Fizz","4","Buzz"]

Example 3:

Input: n = 15
Output: ["1","2","Fizz","4","Buzz","Fizz","7","8","Fizz","Buzz","11","Fizz","13","14","FizzBuzz"]

Constraints:

  • 1 <= n <= 104

Solution

A classic.

class Solution {
    public List<String> fizzBuzz(int n) {
        var l = new ArrayList<String>();
        for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
            if (i % 3 == 0 && i % 5 == 0) {
                l.add("FizzBuzz");
            } else if (i % 3 == 0) {
                l.add("Fizz");
            } else if (i % 5 == 0) {
                l.add("Buzz");
            } else {
                l.add(String.valueOf(i));
            }
        }
        return l;
    }
}

We’ll be working with the set P_n(\mathbb{R}), real polynomials of degree \leq n. Such polynomials can be expressed using n+1 scalar coefficients a_i as follows: \[p(x)=a_0+a_1 x + a_2 x^2 + \cdots + a_n x^n\] Vector space The set P_n(\mathbb{R}), along with addition of polynomials and scalar multip...
