Doing it in php, the other way

\<?php for($i=1;$i\<=100;$i++){ switch($i){ case($i%3===0 && ($i%5)!==0): echo "Fizz"."  
"; break; case($i%5===0 && ($i%3)!==0): echo "Buzz"."  
"; break; case($i%5===0 && $i%3===0): echo "FizzBuzz"."

I am a 10th grader from pakistan and my answer to the FizzBuzz question is following:  
For A=1 to 100  
B=A/3  
B=B+1  
Repeat  
B=B-1  
Until B\<=1 and B\>0  
C=A/5  
C=C+1  
Repeat  
C=C-1  
Until C\<=1 and C\>0  
If B=1 and C=1 then  
Write [“FizzBuzz”]  
End If  
If B=1 and C\<1 then  
Write [“Fizz”]  
End If  
If C=1 and B\<1 then  
Write [“Buzz”]  
End If  
If B\<1 and C\<1 then  
Output A  
End If  
Next A

I guess I was brought up learning to program on Sinclairs - amazing how you can learn BASIC as a simple language and then move onto other languages, such as Perl, PHP and even 68000 machine code…

Fizzbuzz:

I failed my intro to computer science course where they taught me java. It’s been over six months. I dont have java installed any more but here’s what I did in my text editor in 5 minutes.

public class NewClass{  
public static void main(String[] args){  
int i = 1;  
while (i \<= 100){  
if (i % 15 == 0){  
System.out.println(“FizzBuzz”);  
}else if (1 % 5 == 0){  
System.out.println(“Buzz”);  
}else if (1 % 3 == 0){  
System.out.println(“Fizz”);  
}else{  
System.out.println(i + “”);  
}  
}  
}  
}

I dont have java so I cant test it but im pretty sure i have it or am close. This is just to prove that that 199/200 thing is serious bullshit.

HI guys.  
As a student, I feel that the teachers spend a lot of time giving us long long pages of things to put together rather than spending enough time on getting concrete sets of knowledge together-I’ll work on that this year.  
My solution uses java-bugger using C and pointers and all that.  
Now, I am intending to code for the following:  
-print out numbers from 1 to 100 inclusive  
-however, numbers that are divisible by 3, get repalced by Fizz, those with 5 get replaced by Buzz, and those that are divisible by both 3 and 5 (i.e by 15) get replaced by FizzBuzz.  
I hope my code does what is required:  
public class Main {

```
   public static void main(String[] args) {
     for (int i=1; i<=100; i++){
      if (i%15==0){
          System.out.println("FizzBuzz");
      }else if(i%3==0){
          System.out.println("Fizz");
      }else if(i%5==0){
          System.out.println("Buzz");
      }else{
          System.out.println(i);
      }
  }

}

```

}

I don’t think this article can be completely correct more so the comments being thrown around. I’m currently in college as a Computer Science major and I had to learn recursion way back in beginning programming class. It was just the hey this is what it is and how you can do it. Since I’ve taken the more advanced classes now. We have to use it in some of the solutions such as Traversing Tree’s or graphs usually. I also learned Hexadecimal and Binary conversions and the operations on them.

Also I would say that my University not the best at all as far University go. It’s one of the cheapest in the state.
