One of my friends failed an interview out of college where they asked him fizz buzz, and [using python] he created an array [list(range(1,101))] and then overwrote multiples of 3 with "fizz" multiples of 5 with "buzz" and multiples of 15 with "fizzbuzz."

Because it was an unconventional solution, the interviewer didn't like it.

That's exactly how I'd do it! What's supposed to be the better way? Modulo/division by three and five?

    for x in xrange(1,101):
        if not x % 3:
            print "Fizz",
        if not x % 5:
            print "Buzz",
        if (x % 3) and (x % 5):
            print x
        else:
            print ""

And fifteen.

  for(var i = 1; i <= 100; i++) {
    a[fizz +=3] = "fizz" + (a[fizz] || "");
    a[buzz +=5] = "buzz";
    print(a[i] || i);
  }
