FizzBuzz is not some arcane algorithm. You don't need to study it.
It's literally writing a loop, testing equality, and printing some output. I don't know how you could program professionally and not be able to solve FizzBuzz.
- vidarh 10y agoPeople should be able to solve FizzBuzz provided it is explained properly and fully. This is the same for a lot of the basic algorithms we learnt and forgot. This, to me is the big caveat. Just as there are a lot of people who are horrible at solving stuff they should easily be able to, I've conversely seen so many horrible interviewers that under-specify the problems they ask about because they assume people should understand algorithms that would make it easier to understand, or just assume people will infer things most people wouldn't.
