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;
    }
}

System One models like Jev can train their own replacements

“System One” models like Jev are fast general classifiers. Classifiers have existed since 1958, but they have to be trained for specific tasks: if you build a classifier to identify images of dogs, it can’t be used to tell you if a streetlight is red, or if a letter is urgent. Like a LLM, Jev can be...
