Question

For the FizzBuzz program, I got only fizz and buzz and fizzbuzz for the output, but no numbers...What did I do wrong? I cant seem to figure out the issue here.

Here is my code:

for i in range(1,101):
s = str(i)
if i % 3==0 or i % 5==0:
s=''
if i % 3==0:
s=s+'FIZZ'
if i % 5==0:
s = s+'BUZZ'
print s

Answer 1

when you enter your first if loop you are resetting the value of s to just be a blank line which effectively is dropping out your number from the beginning of the line

Answer 2

what should I have instead of s=''?

Answer 3

when your code hits s=str(i) the first time it sets s='1'. then you enter your if loop and have s='' which changes s='1' to s='' what your doing is called reinitializing a variable which is causing your original s to forget the '1'. btw the only reason im not outright telling you the fix is because problem solving/debugging is one of the most important skills for programming

Answer 4

thanks I appreciate it...Id rather learn the process that just be told the answer any day. Let me tinker with this a little longer.

Answer 5

so here is what I went with and it worked like a charm. Thanks again for your help:

for i in range (1, 101):
if i % 3 == 0 and i % 5 == 0:
print 'FIZZBUZZ'
elif i % 3 == 0:
print 'FIZZ'
elif i % 5 == 0:
print 'BUZZ'
else:
print i

glad to see you got it worked out :D
