I see no continue being used.

```
for (int i = 1; i <= 100; i++)
        {
            if (i % 3 == 0 && i % 5 == 0)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Fizz-Buzz {0}", i);
                continue;
            }
            if (i % 3 == 0 && i % 5 != 0)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Fizz {0}", i);
                continue;
            }
            if (i % 3 != 0 && i % 5 == 0)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Buzz {0}", i);
               continue;
            }
            Console.WriteLine(i);

In C I would use this beautiful oneliner:

```auto
for(int t=1;t<=100;t++)     
   ( (!(t%3)&&printf("Fizz")) + ((t%5==0)&&printf("Buzz")) || printf("%d", t)), putchar('\n');

```

Just 2 modulos needed, no continue, no caching, just pure misuse of logical expression evaluation mechanics.

One solution in Erlang with recursion.

```auto
-module(fizzbuzz).
-export([print/0]).

	
print() ->
	FizzBuzzList = eval(100, []),
	lists:foreach(fun(Item)->io:format("~p~n", [Item]) end, FizzBuzzList).

eval(Count, Acc) when Count /= 0 ->
	Remainders = {Count rem 3, Count rem 5},
	NewAcc = case Remainders of
		{0, 0} -> ["FizzBuzz"|Acc];
		{0, _} -> ["Fizz"|Acc];
		{_, 0} -> ["Buzz"|Acc];
		{_, _} -> [Count|Acc]
	end,
	eval(Count-1, NewAcc);

eval(0, Acc) ->
	Acc.

</div>

Old but gold, vb6:

```
 Dim i As Integer
 Open "C:\output.txt" For Append As #1 ' VB6 does not have native console window support
 For i=1 To 100
     If i Mod 3 = 0 Then Print #1, "Fizz"
     If i Mod 5 = 0 Then Print #1, "Buzz"
     If i Mod 15 <> 0 Then Print #1, Cstr(i)    
 Next
 Close #1

```

Also remembering that VB6 does not have an official console mode support, it’s necessary to waste two lines of code, openning and closing the text file used as Output.

My 2 cents in Perl. Not the shortest, but it is among the most compact and still readable, doesn’t cheat using a module that does the work and is not exposed, and most importantly, it works CORRECTLY (version 5.10 and above due to use of “say” instead of “print”). Yes, it is amazing how many solutions here do not follow the actual specifications (or plain don’t work):

```
while ($i++ < 100){
     my $out;
     $out = "Fizz" unless ($i%3);
    $out .= "Buzz" unless ($i%5);
    say "$out" || "$i";
}
```

</div>

This one is simpler, more readable, and no ternary ops:

```
while ($i++ < 100){
   my $out;
   $out = "Fizz" unless ($i%3);
   $out .= "Buzz" unless ($i%5);
   say "$out" || "$i";
}

# ... and oh, it works correctly according to the specs. One is not supposed to print the integer if the strings "fizz", "buzz", or "fizzbuzz" are printed (many solutions in this page disregard that point.
```

</div>

Of course we couldn’t forget our both loved and hated VBA in all its glory

Normal Loop:

```auto
Sub FizzBuzz(n As Integer)
    Dim i As Integer

    For i = 1 To n
        If i Mod 3 = 0 And i Mod 5 = 0 Then
            Debug.Print "FizzBuzz"
        ElseIf i Mod 3 = 0 Then
            Debug.Print "Fizz"
        ElseIf i Mod 5 = 0 Then
            Debug.Print "Buzz"
        Else
            Debug.Print i
        End If
    Next i

End Sub

```

And some recursive:

```auto
Sub RecursiveFizzBuzz(n As Integer)

    If n > 1 Then
        RecursiveFizzBuzz (n - 1)
        If n Mod 3 = 0 And n Mod 5 = 0 Then
            Debug.Print "FizzBuzz"
        ElseIf n Mod 3 = 0 Then
            Debug.Print "Fizz"
        ElseIf n Mod 5 = 0 Then
            Debug.Print "Buzz"
        Else
            Debug.Print n
        End If
    Else
        Debug.Print n
    End If

End Sub

</div>

Let’s go python:

```
    def FizzBuzz(highestNumber, numbers, words):
	for i in range(1, highestNumber + 1):
		out = ""
		for number, word in zip(numbers, words):
			if i % number == 0:
				out += word
		print(out if out else i)

    FizzBuzz(100, [3,5], ["Fizz", "Buzz"])

```

Boom done. Reusable for different numbers and words

Python, could be more compact but this way it is more clear what the program does and less computation only mod two times instead of four.

```
for i in range(0,101):
    
    fizz = i % 5 == 0
    buzz = i % 3 == 0
    
    if fizz and buzz:
        print("FizzBuzz")
        continue
    if fizz:
        print("Fizz")
        continue
    if buzz:
        print("Buzz")
        continue
    print(i)

In java, but in functional paradigm (don’t do this at work).

```java
public static void main(String[] args) {

			.mapToObj(Scratch::fizzBuzz)
			.collect(Collectors.joining(", "));

	System.out.print(result);

			.apply(String.valueOf(n));
}

static Function<Function<String, String>, Function<String, String>> buzz(int n) {

}

static Function<Function<String, String>, Function<String, String>> fizz(int n) {
	return test(n, 3, "fizz");
}

static Function<Function<String, String>, Function<String, String>> test(int number, int divisor, String match) {

Surprised no one posted this efficient solution so far.

I’ll post it in PHP I guess, but the concept works in most languages.

```
function FizzBuzz($limit = 100, $FizzMultiple=3, $BuzzMultiple=5){
    for($i=0; $i < $limit; $i++){
        echo $i .': ';
        switch(true){
            case ($i % $FizzMultiple == 0) : echo "Fizz";
            case ($i % $BuzzMultiple == 0) : echo "Buzz"; break;
            default: break;
        }
        echo PHP_EOL;
    }
}
FizzBuzz(1500);

function FizzBuzz2($limit = 100, $FizzMultiple=3, $BuzzMultiple=5){
    for($i=0; $i < $limit; $i++){
        echo $i .': ';
        if($i % $FizzMultiple == 0)
            echo "Fizz";
        if($i % $BuzzMultiple == 0)

for (i = 1; i < 101; i++) {

        console.log("FizzBuzz");

Thank you for liking my code. I also wrote two different paper, scissors, rock program but was difficult at the start and abstract but I put mind to work and think and think with music. I am a computer science major in 4-year computer science degree program. I am really dedicating as much time to learn Python3.9.4, C++, C#, R, and several others. My main programming languages to learn is Python 3 for data science/ml/games, C# for Unity3D, C++ for Unreal Engine, R for statistical, mathematical, and graphical computing. Also, I heard software design documents are effective in computer programming but I need tips.

Also, wrote several python programs and couple (more than 10 i think) of C++ program and still learning…
