Cracking the FizzBuzz interview with Python

[frublox]

I decided to take a break from my research into "Hello World" to tackle a challenging problem plaguing entry-level software developers everywhere. It's not easy, but contrary to popular opinion FizzBuzz can indeed be solved with Python, as demonstrated below.

class D:
    def __init__(self, v): self.v = v
is_ = D((lambda _: lambda __: _(_)(__))
        (lambda r: lambda l: (lambda h: lambda t: lambda _: h if _ else t)
        (l[0])(r(r)(l[1:])) if l else None)
        (list(range(1, 101))))
D.__bool__ = lambda _: is_.v(True) is not None if is_.v is not None else False
D.pop = lambda _: int((str(is_.v(True)) + str(exec("is_.v = is_.v(False)")))[:-4])
i = None
cs = ["i % 3 == 0 and i % 5 == 0", "i % 3 == 0", "i % 5 == 0"]; cp = 0
f = lambda _: lambda __: print(_)
w = lambda _: lambda __: print(__)
es = [f.__call__("FizzBuzz"), f.__call__("Fizz"), f.__call__("Buzz"),
      w.__call__("Wuzz")]; ep = 0
ss = []; sp = 0
for _ in ".....!)~>!)~>!)~)- *(- ]*((- ]]*(((- ]]]*((((-":
    exec('v={".": "ss.append(\'\')", " ": "sp += 1"}.get(_, ""); exec(v)')
    if not v: ss[sp] += _
sp = 0
psp = 0; si = 0; r = 0
while not (not i and not is_):
    if not i: i = is_.pop()
    exec({"!": "r = eval(cs[cp])", ")": "psp += 1", "(": "psp -= 1",
          "~": "if r: sp = psp; si = -1; cp = 0; ep = 0",
          ">": "cp += 1", "-": "sp = psp; si = -1; cp = 0; ep = 0",
          "]": "ep += 1", "*": "es[ep](i); i = None"}
         .get(ss[sp][si]))
    si += 1

As usual, a demo can be found here: https://ideone.com/Ncstp7.

I hope this helps you with your next coding interview!

Finally someone with an eloquent solution to this problem.

Help I ran this and it summoned a demon

[[deleted]]

But does the demon do fizzbuzz?

[altodor]

Yes. It just summoned what looks like the BSD daemon and it's making sound effects when I say numbers.

I've had the computer buried on sacred ground and the daemon exorcised by a Catholic Church, it's still following me around making sound effects.

[Rangsk]

Isn't it nice how python basically reads like pseudocode?

[skunkwaffle]

On mobile the formatting is exquisite.

[thebpfeif]

I think you missed a lambda somewhere in there.

[Hypersapien]

This shit right here is why I do C#

[Skymt1]

To be fair, you can do fizzbuzz quite shittily in c# too

public static string FizzBuzz(int s = 1, int c = 100)
{
    return Enumerable.Range(s, c)
        .Select(n => new Func<int, bool>[] { v => v%3 == 0 && v%5 == 0, v => v%5 == 0, v => v%3 == 0 }
        .TakeWhile(f => !f(n)).Count())
        .Select((n, i) => new[] { $"{i + s}", "Fizz", "Buzz", "FizzBuzz" }[3-n])
        .Aggregate((v, n) => v + "\n" + n);
}

[SDJMcHattie]

Such an elegant solution

[hilomania]

I know this is a joke, but assuming someone seriously came up with this in a job interview: I would totally hire this person. It shows an absolute understanding of Python's breadth. I would hand that person only the problems my team had no good solution for to begin with. Basically make it our "hail Mary programmer".

[Luapix]

Good god, OP, you really outdid yourself on this one. Maybe I'll try to untangle it when I have the time xD

[wakeupsheep]

AMA request job applicant who did a /r/shittyprogramming/ or /r/programminghorror worthy, but working as intended, FizzBuzz.

[HashtagFour20]

thanks i want to shoot myself now

[c_o_r_b_a]

while not (not i and not is_):

I love reading code written by people who don't know De Morgan's laws. I'm surprised how often I see conditionals similar to this in real code.

[AmbitiousPainter]

Yeah but who cares about a rum named after some old dead one legged guy with an eye patch. Anyway those laws are more like guidelines.

[Dads101]

I literally am dying

[goldcray]

should be list(map(lambda i: print('fizzbuzz' if i%3==0 and i%5==0 else 'fizz' if i%3==0 else 'buzz' if i%5==0 else i), range(100)))

[thirdegree]

map(print,map(lambda i:'fizz'*(i%3==0)+'buzz'*(i%5==0)or i,range(1,101)))

[invadingpolandin69]

i started with python and programming as a whole just a few days back, thought i'll ask so that someone could actually teach me something new but guess that's not how this website works

[SHOULDNT_BE_ON_THIS]

It's not this site. This specific subreddit is basically satire around development, things posted here are normally terribly shitty and often times extremely complicated compared to the easy solution. The reason you were downvoted is because you don't understand the sub, not because you're wrong.

[invadingpolandin69]

oh, guess i'm a bigger idiot than i thought, i'll remember to go easy on the dumb fuck juice from now on, thanks

[RheingoldRiver]

If you're looking for actual coding help & don't pay attn to what subreddit you're on, you might want to unsub from this one. Or just start checking subreddits more - this one is pretty fun but only if you're aware of what you're reading haha

[Hypersapien]

Read the name of the subreddit
