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;
    }
}

Notes on Cramer's rule

Cramer's rule is a clever solution to the classical system of linear equations Ax=b: \[\begin{bmatrix} a_{11} & a_{12} & a_{13} \\ a_{21} & a_{22} & a_{23} \\ a_{31} & a_{32} & a_{33} \\ \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix}x_1 \\ x_2 \\ x_3\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}b_1 \\ b_2 \\ b_3\end{bmatrix}\] Usi...
