How to Solve the Fizz Buzz Code Challenge

Below is a common problem that has been used to test developer candidates during job interviews. It's a good problem to review and check to see if you understand some of the basic javascript concepts. Heads up, this is probably very old and not likely asked anymore in 2020 :)

Problem

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'.

Answer

// Start the count from 1. Limit to 100.
for (var  i = 1; i <= 100;) {
  // Define write conditions based off divisibility
  document.write((i % 3 ? "" : "Fizz") + (i % 5 ? "" : "Buzz") || i)
  // Add line breaks for display purposes
  + document.write("<br>");
  //Increment i for next loop
  i++;
}
