<p>A FizzBuzz Program is a program used in many job interviews to see if a programmer is good at problem solving.

It gives you a problem to solve, and all you need to do to solve it. Incase you're wondering, the problem is to make a program that counts from 1 to 100 and replaces all multiples of 3 with Fizz, all multiples of 5 with Buzz, and multiples of both with FizzBuzz. Generally in interviews, they also ask you to add on more multiples, such as multiples of 7 are replaced with Fuzz, and multiples of 11 are replaced with Bizz.</p><p>Now that I've told you what a FizzBuzz Program is, let me show you how I make them in Psuedo-Code.</p><div class="code">for i in 1-100 {<div style="margin-left:1em">toPrint = ""<br>print(toPrint)</div>}</div><p>The first thing I do is I create a for loop, and within it I put a print statement and a variable named toPrint.</p><div class="code">def check(checktomulti, multi, toreturn) {<div style="margin-left:1em">if checktomulti % multi == 0 {<div style="margin-left:1em">return toreturn</div>}<br>return ""</div>}<br>def checkEmpty(string, number) {<div style="margin-left:1em">if string == "" {<div style="margin-left:1em">return number</div>}<br>return string</div>}<br>for i in 1-100 {<div style="margin-left:1em">toPrint = checkEmpty(check(i, 3, "Fizz") + check(i, 5, "Buzz"), i)<br>print(toPrint)</div>}</div><p>The next thing I do is I define a function that checks if one number is a multiple of another, and if it is, then it returns the string, otherwise, it returns an empty string.</p><p>Then I make a function that checks if a string is an empty one, if it is, then it returns a number.</p><p>Once I have these 2 functions, I go back into the for loop and make the toPrint variable have the variable for checking if a string is empty(and if it is replace it with a number) check if 2 of the other function that check if one number is a multiple of another(and if it is, return a string).

A FizzBuzz Program is a program used in many job interviews to see if a programmer is good at problem solving. There are many ways to make one.
First let me tell you why I write these programs. These programs, at least in my opinion, are good when you're learning a new programming language. It gives you a problem to solve, and all you need to do to solve it. Incase you're wondering, the problem is to make a program that counts from 1 to 100 and replaces all multiples of 3 with Fizz, all multiples of 5 with Buzz, and multiples of both with FizzBuzz. Generally in interviews, they also ask you to add on more multiples, such as multiples of 7 are replaced with Fuzz, and multiples of 11 are replaced with Bizz.
Now that I've told you what a FizzBuzz Program is, let me show you how I make them in Python.
```python
for i in range(1, 100):
toPrint = ""
print(toPrint)
```
The first thing I do is I create a for loop, and within it I put a print statement and a variable named toPrint.
```python
def check(checktomulti, multi, toreturn):
if checktomulti % multi == 0:
return toreturn
return ""
def checkEmpty(string, number):
if string == "":
return number
return string
for i in range(1, 100):
toPrint = checkEmpty(check(i, 3, "Fizz") + check(i, 5, "Buzz"), i)
print(toPrint)
```
The next thing I do is I define a function that checks if one number is a multiple of another, and if it is, then it returns the string, otherwise, it returns an empty string.
Then I make a function that checks if a string is an empty one, if it is, then it returns a number.
Once I have these 2 functions, I go back into the for loop and make the `toPrint` variable have the variable for checking if a string is empty(and if it is replace it with a number) check if 2 of the other function that check if one number is a multiple of another(and if it is, return a string). Finally, it prints the output.
I've tried this method many times. Below are some examples of this method in action!
