I would not want developer to write this kind of code in production applications but I would very much hire a person who is capable of coming up with the code like this.

..except they probably wouldn't come up with janky code like this - especially not during the interview

This is something you memorize to try to show off

>"person who is capable of" - is not equal to actually doing it on an interview unless it was their own original code

This whole point of Fizzbuzz is to see how one structures their code. Or at least ascertain that one _can_ write code in the first place.

I could not care less about the purpose of FizzBuzz. In my other life I've interviewed many programmers and I did not get disappointed. But I would never ask them to do live coding in a first place.

How much structure can a fizzbuzz have exactly?

How much structure would you like?

Sometimes I wonder why some dev teams take 10x longer to develop some functionality than what I would consider reasonable.

Then I see code like this.

  > How much structure would you like?

  top = 100

  data = { 
      3: "fizz",
      5: "buzz"
  } 


  for i in range(1, top+1):
      output_num = True
      for j in data:
          if i%j == 0:
              print(data[j], end="")
              output_num = False

      if output_num:
          print(i)
      else:
          print("")

This is enough structure to anticipate the inevitable customer changing the requirements. No magic numbers in the real code.

Of course, I just banged this out in a web browser text editor. In PyCharm that better be wrapped in a function at minimum, or a module.

You can make it easily extendable for division by 7.
