Yes you do raise a valid point. It should really only take
you a mere few seconds or so to write a solution to this.
More over, it can be done in just a single line of Python.
7 if you're not very familiar with Python.
While it *can* be done in one line, I'm not sure it's the most
legible solution. Though I must say I like this one-line python
version:
for i in range(1, 101): print ((i%3==0 and 'fizz' or '') +
(i%5==0 and 'buzz' or '')) or i
(adjust "3" and "5" for your local flavor of fizzbuzz)
I'm not sure I'd hire a candidate that proposed this as a
solution in earnest, but I'd have fun chatting with them :)
