I Repeat: Do Not Listen to Your Users →
I have a very similar opinion about this actually. It’s ok to listen to your users, but don’t do things exactly as they say.. try to find the root problem that they’re having.
Jeff Atwood also makes a good point about actually watching and measuring what users do. Users often lie!
def FizzBuzz()
(1..100).each do |i|
if (i % 3 == 0 and i % 5 == 0)
puts "FizzBuzz"
elsif (i % 3 == 0)
puts "Fizz"
elsif (i % 5 == 0)
puts "Buzz"
else
puts i
end
end
end
Interview questions are fun! :P
