Recurse Center - aka Hackers School

I was surfing the web looking for a reputable school to get credentials for programming and came across this.

https://www.recurse.com

They have an application you fill out tell them about yourself, links to your work etc..

Then there was this general programming test

Code:

Code CracklePop
Write a program that prints out the numbers 1 to 100 (inclusive). 
If the number is divisible by 3, print Crackle instead of the number. 
If it's divisible by 5, print Pop. 
If it's divisible by both 3 and 5, print CracklePop. 
You can use any language.

Any language? Nice!!.. So I cracked my knuckles and got to work.. to my surprise I am very rusty in quite a few languages but I thought I'd give it a shot, besides it was a lot fun

PHP

Code:

<?php
$str = [
    ['word' => 'Crackle', 'value' => 3],
    ['word' => 'Pop', 'value' => 5]
];

function cracklePop($a, $b, $str){
    for(; $a < $b; $a++){
        if($a % $str[0]['value'] == 0 && $a % $str[1]['value'] == 0){
          echo $str[0]['word'].$str[1]['word']."\n";
        }elseif($a % $str[0]['value'] == 0){
            echo $str[0]['word']."\n";
        }elseif($a % $str[1]['value'] == 0){
            echo $str[1]['word']."\n";
        }else{
            echo $a."\n";
        }
    }
}
cracklePop(1, 100, $str);
?>

Lua

Code:

local str = {
    { word = 'Crackle', value = 3 },
    { word = 'Pop', value = 5}
}

function cracklePop(a, b, str, c)
    for n = a, b, (c and c or 1) do
        if n % str[1].value == 0 and n % str[2].value == 0 then
            print(str[1].word..str[2].word)
        elseif n % str[1].value == 0 then
            print(str[1].word)
        elseif n % str[2].value == 0 then
            print(str[2].word)
        else
            print(n)
        end
    end
end

cracklePop(1, 100, str)

C++

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void cracklePop(int a, int b, int v[], string str[]){
    for(; a <= b; a++){
        if((a % v[0]) == 0 && (a % v[1] == 0)){
            cout << str[0] << str[1] << endl;
        }else if(a % v[0] == 0){
            cout << str[0] <<  endl;
        }else if(a % v[1] == 0){
            cout << str[1] <<  endl;
        }else{
            cout << a <<  endl;
        }
    }
}

int main()
{
   string words[2] = {"Crackle", "Pop"};
   int values[2] = {3, 5};
 
   cracklePop(1, 100, values, words);
 
   return 0;
}

Java

Code:

public class CP{
  
    public static class CracklePop {
  
        private Integer[] values = new Integer[2];
        private String[] words = new String[2];
      
        public CracklePop(Integer[] value, String[] word) {
            for(int i = 0; i < value.length; i++){
                this.values[i] = value[i];
                this.words[i] = word[i];
            }
        }
      
        public void printValues(int a, int b){
            for(; a <= b; a++){
                if(a % this.values[0] == 0 && a % this.values[1] == 0){
                    System.out.println(this.words[0] + this.words[1]);
                }else if(a % this.values[0] == 0){
                    System.out.println(this.words[0]);
                }else if(a % this.values[1] == 0){
                    System.out.println(this.words[1]);
                }else{
                    System.out.println(a);
                }
            }
        }
    }
  
    static String[]  w = {"Crackle", "Pop"};
    static Integer[]  v = {3, 5};
  
    static CracklePop cracklePop = new CracklePop(v, w);
  
     public static void main(String []args){
        cracklePop.printValues(1, 100);
     }
}

HTML / Javascript

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Crackle Pop</title>
</head>
<body>
<p id="cracklePop"></p>
<script>
function CracklePop(a, b, three, five, c, p){
    var t = ''
    for(; a <= b; a++){
        if(a % three === 0 && a % five === 0){
            t += c + p + "<br />";
        }else if(a % three === 0){
            t += c + "<br />";
        }else if(a % five === 0){
            t += p + "<br />";
        }else{
            t += a + "<br />";
        }
    }
    document.getElementById("cracklePop").innerHTML = t;
}
var a = 3, b = 5, w = "Crackle", v = "Pop";
CracklePop(1, 100, a, b, w, v);
</script>
</body>
</html>

Maybe you all would like to give it a shot and see if you can minimize the code or write your own in your language of choice of course
