- saves the strings to disk

                Rand(-12345.6789, 12345.6789, matrix(ct, ecx))
        Next

The "Fizz-Buzz test" is an interview question designed to help filter out the 99.5% of programming job candidates who can't seem to program their way out of a wet paper bag. The text of the programming assignment is as follows:

"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"."

include \masm32\MasmBasic\MasmBasic.inc         ; download
  Init
  For_ ct=1 To 100
        xor esi, esi            ; flag Fizz or Buzz
        mov eax, ct
        cdq
        mov ecx, 3
        div ecx
        test edx, edx
        .if Zero?
                inc esi

        .endif
        mov eax, ct

In C, perhaps it works ::)

Code Select Expand

int __cdecl main(void)
{
char *Fizz = "Fizz";
char *Buzz = "Buzz";
char *pF, *pB;
for (int i=0; i<100; i++) {
pF = 0;
pB = 0;
if (i) {
if (i % 3 == 0) pF = Fizz;
if (i % 5 == 0) pB = Buzz;
}
if (pF || pB) {
if (pF) printf(pF);
if (pB) printf(pB);
printf("\n");
} else printf("%d\n", i);
}
return 0;
}

Another C version (may be can be made shorter   ::)):

int main()
{
   char buff[16];
   for (int i = 1; i <= 100; i++)
      printf("%s\n", !(i % 3) && !(i % 5) ? "FizzBuff": (!(i % 5) ? "Buzz": (!(i % 3) ? "Fizz": itoa(i,buff,10))));
}

Certain similarities should be accepted 8)

Code Select Expand

printf("%s\n", !(i % 3) && !(i % 5) ? "FizzBuff": (!(i % 5) ? "Buzz": (!(i % 3) ? "Fizz": itoa(i,buff,10))));
Print Choose(ebx, Str$("%i ", ct), "Fizz ", "Buzz ", "FizzBuzz ")

Full version:

include Modulo.inc

  For_ ecx=1 To 30
        lea ebx, [2*IsModulo(ecx, 5)]
        add ebx, IsModulo(ecx, 3)
       PrintLine Choose(ebx, Str$("%i ", ecx), "Fizz ", "Buzz ", "FizzBuzz ")

I wonder if it should be called ModZero(src, imm)?

Impressive Jochen :t
how fast is arrayplot compared to GDI?
is it masmbasic functions used in Lord Adef's game,scrolling and sprite functions included already in masmbasic?
strange if not,because its included GET and PUT in qbasic

[jj2007]

Thanks, Daydreamer. Arrayplot is Gdi, actually. Speedwise, check the Sinus plot template (attached). Re GET & PUT: There are ways to do something similar in MasmBasic, but I doubt that LordAdef is using them.

Hi jj2007,

is it possible to make smoothing lines? the soul requires aesthetics)
Smoothing a curve in VB.Net https://www.codeproject.com/Questions/358853/Smoothing-a-curve-in-VB-Net

[jj2007]

is it possible to make smoothing lines?

Probably, but the CodeProject guy is on the wrong track. For scientific data visualisation, you can't use "shortcuts" of that sort, they must be exact. What you can do, though, is smoothing a ragged line by anti-aliasing:


If I find the time, I'll find a way to let GdiPlus draw these lines 8)
