Fizz buzz

Written on March 18, 2023

This is a typical fizz buzz example written in JavaScript that runs in a web page. The input defines the number of iterations. A number divisible by 3 displays the word "Fizz", a number divisible by 5 displays "Buzz", and a number divisible by both 3 and 5 displays "Fizz Buzz".

Here is another fizz buzz example that is just JavaScript (no web page) and can be run using the node command shown below. Output from running this example is also shown.

// fizzbuzz.js

const numIterations = 40;

for (let i = 1; i <= numIterations; i++) {
  if (i % 15 == 0) {
    result = 'Fizz Buzz';
  } else if (i % 5 == 0) {
    result = 'Buzz';
  } else if (i % 3 == 0) {
    result = 'Fizz';
  } else {
    result = i;
  }

  const s = i.toString().padStart(2, ' ');
  console.log(`${s} ${result}`);
}
