In the last article, we looked at how we can fizzBuzz a signle number. This article is taking us further to how we can fizzBuzz a range of number. It is going to however, depend upon the function from the last article - 4 Ways to FizzBuzz a Single Number.
fizzBuzzRange([1, 9])
/*
1
2
Fizz
4
Buzz
Fizz
7
8
Fizz
*/
fizzBuzzRange([30, 25])
/*
FizzBuzz
29
28
Fizz
26
Buzz
*/
Are you already thinking it out? I will be showing you 2 ways to do this both for a descending range (example: from 9 to 1) and ascending range (example: from 1 to 9)
Prerequisite
To benefit from this article, you need to check out the preceding article and possess basic understanding of javascript's array methods.
Let's FizzBuzz a Range of Numbers Using:
- if...statement and for...loop
function fizzBuzzRange(array) {
if (array[0] < array[1]) {
for (let i = array[0]; i <= array[1]; i++) {
console.log(fizzBuzz(i));
}
}
if (array[0] > array[1]) {
for (let i = array[0]; i >= array[1]; i--) {
console.log(fizzBuzz(i));
}
}
}
- switch...statement and while...loop
function fizzBuzzRange(array) {
switch (array[0] < array[1]) {
case true:
counter = array[0];
while (counter <= array[1]) {
console.log(fizzBuzz(counter));
counter++;
}
break;
case false:
counter = array[0];
while (counter >= array[1]) {
console.log(fizzBuzz(counter));
counter--;
}
break;
}
}
Conclusion
There are many ways to solve problems programmatically. I will love to know other ways you solved yours in the comment section.
