Smallest FizzBuzz program

[Robert Dober]

1.upto(?d){|i|p ["%sBuzz"%x=[:Fizz][i%3]][i%5]||x||i}

Code golfing is against my religious beliefs however.

good decision 'cause you are cheating, the output format of p is
not what is required
Robert

And here I could have sworn that I'd actually tried that very code in irb.

That's why I'm against code golfing, rots the brain! ;-)

That's why I love it, nothing to lose
But this one got on my nervers now, good night everyone!

This is really bugging me. Someone posted a golf challenge to write a
smallest FizzBuzz program here:

http://golf.shinh.org/p.rb?FizzBuzz (although the site was down when I
checked it a few minutes ago)

I submitted the resulting program to the site (which is back up now)
under 'comp.lang.ruby' since multiple people contributed. Comes in at 57
bytes - only 1 byte longer than the best. So apparently the site does
count the EOF byte.

1.upto(?d){|i|i%3<1&&x=:Fizz;puts i%5<1?"#{x}Buzz":x||i}

http://golf.shinh.org/p.rb?FizzBuzz

Interestingly, the following Ruby program (with a little help from sed
that my friend passed along) comes in at exactly 56 bytes, but the test
site rightfully failed it due to the attempt to shell the command:

puts `seq 100|sed -e'5~5s/.*/Buzz/;3~3s/^[0-9]*/Fizz/'`

I was trying to submit to program for the prime number challenge, but I
can't make it work because I don't understand how does this website do the
input to the submitted programs.
I mean that when I use ARGV or $*, it seems these variables are empty (just
submitting a test program that does a "pp ARGV" outputs an empty array).

Is there anyone who knows how can I get the input for this website ?

Did you try to read from $stdin? I know that is kind of stupid to ask,
but sometimes we do not see what is hidden in front of our eyes

Hey! Stop this! It's supposed to be the dreadfull scripting language
called Pearl that's totally unreadable and it's abusers waste the
precious time trying to beat each other by writing something in as few
characters as possible!

And what's pearl? I thought it was perl. What does it mean if one
doesn't know how to properly spell one's favorite language?

You could always tell who was really in the Smalltalk community or at
least who wasn't when they spelled it SmallTalk.

I guess I lack some cultural reference to understand this

Mick Jagger is the lead singer of the Rolling Stones.

Robert my friend you must be either very old or very young (more likely)

Actually, in this context, I think "Jenda" is being intentionally
ironic. That's a jab at people who complain about Perl being unreadable
and suitable only for golf and obfu.

Actually I am quite old (not as old as the Stones but almost), but
incredibly stupid, I just did not get the pun!!!!Thx for bringing the light to the blind.
