Comparison Solution
2:52Here's the approach I took to solve this challenge.
Welcome back, how'd it go?
0:00
If you weren't able to complete every
to-do item, that's totally fine.
0:03
Learning new things is hard.
0:07
Let's walk through how I
handled this challenge.
0:09
Here's our first TODO.
0:13
Remember that inputs are string values and
we need our number to be an integer for
0:16
our math operations.
0:21
We can do that by passing
the input into the int function.
0:22
Let's look at our next TODO's here.
0:31
For the next task, we need to utilize
string formatting and a new line.
0:37
We can use an escape sequence for
the new line, all right?
0:42
And we can pass in the name and
0:46
number variables into the stringFormat
method to get those values to print.
0:48
So our next TODO here is to define our
variables for is_fizz and is_buzz.
1:00
So for is_fizz and is_buzz, we want them
to be boolean values, true or false.
1:08
For is_fizz,
we do the module operator on the number,
1:15
by 3, and make sure that that equals 0,
which means there's no remainder.
1:20
For is_buzz we do the same thing but
with 5.
1:25
Next up is handling all of this if logic.
1:30
This may have tripped you up a little bit.
1:33
And honestly,
1:35
it is something that many developers
struggle with from time to time.
1:36
But thinking in this fashion early on
in your Python journey helps a ton.
1:40
Let's think about how if statements
work and what we're trying to do.
1:47
We need to check a given number for
the various conditions.
1:52
The thing to remember through the if and
1:56
elif statements is that it processes
each conditional check in order.
1:58
If a condition is met, it does what's
inside the checking block and that's it.
2:04
Therefore, if we start with a check for
just the number 3 or just the number 5,
2:09
we'll never get to check for
both of these conditions.
2:14
Therefore, that check needs to come first.
2:18
So we check if is_fizz and
is_buzz is first.
2:22
Then we can check the individual
conditions for 3 and
2:28
5 divisibility and
print out the necessary statements.
2:32
Finally, if none of
those conditions exist,
2:36
we can print that our number
isn't fizzy or buzzy.
2:40
Excellent work completing
this practice session.
2:44
Thanks for
working through this challenge with me.
2:47
Until next time, happy coding.
