		<description>@410. markus

The code on 401 was not mine!

@403 is doing the job exactly like it should.

"Write a program that prints the numbers from 1 to 100. But for multiples of three print “Fizz” instead of the number and for the multiples of five print “Buzz”. For numbers which are multiples of both three and five print “FizzBuzz”."

In fact, i even tested the algorithm in Actionscript:

var tString:String;

for (var i:Number=1;i &#60;=100; i++)
{
 	tString="";
	if (i%3==0)tString=tString+"Fizz";
	if (i%5==0)tString=tString+"Buzz";
                if (tString=="") tString=String(i);
	
	trace(tString);

}

The output being:
...
11
Fizz
13
14
FizzBuzz
16
17
...

So, YOU talk crap! Waiting for your code answer! ah! ah! :)</description>

		<description>Wow, those aren't the best qualifications. Just another Joel on Software wannabe perhaps? I don't know because I haven't read your blog, just the about me section and the comments on it. And, I'm not going to read it cause I have programming to do. Yep, I've been a programmer for MANY MANY years. I think you need a little more experience under your belt before people will take your tech blog seriously. But hey, blogging is fun so might as well keep it up - sounds like some people like it..</description>

		<description>I'm surprised David hasn't been on here plugging his (pragmatic programmer) books yet. Or maybe he has but just under different names. He does that kind of stuff.</description>

		<description>I would do the following implementation. Its little lengthy than some other already posted, but it 
 - is eaxy to extend e.g. "Jazz" for multiples of 7
 - does not use modulo operator, which "may" be expensive 

void
fizzbuzz() {

	unsigned int i, nextFizz = 3, nextBuzz = 5, situation;

	for( i = 1; i &#60;= 100; i++ ) {

		situation = 2 * ( i == nextBuzz ) + ( i == nextFizz );

		switch( situation ) {
			case 3:
			  printf( "FizzBuzz\n" );
			  nextFizz += 3;
			  nextBuzz += 5;
			  break;
			
			case 2:
			  printf( "Buzz\n" );
			  nextBuzz += 5;
			  break;
			
			case 1:
			  printf( "Fizz\n" );
			  nextFizz += 3;
			  break;
			
			case 0:
			  printf( "%u\n", i );
			  break;
		}
