LLM: wrt frst 100fizzbuzz

Actually kind of curious challenge; what's the shortest prompt you can use, which would produce the shortest possible fizzbuzz?

Edit: counting including the entire assistant reply, any text + code

  • "golf fizbuz" works well, giving a 54 Python one

        for i in range(1,101):print("Fizz"*(i%3<1)+"Buzz"*(i%5<1)or i)
    

    "golf fizzbuzz" gave a 46 perl one

        print$_%15?$_%3?$_%5?$_:Buzz:Fizz:FizzBuzz,$/for 1..100
    

    Both "code fizzbuzz" and just "fizbuz" gave this longer python one-liner

        print('\n'.join("Fizz"*(i%3==0)+"Buzz"*(i%5==0) or str(i) for i in range(1, 101)))
    

    That's the magic of using a known problem, you don't need to write much and even with incomplete prompts it can be understood. Everything a different new chat in kimi.ai, which was the AI window that I found first among mine.

    Not interesting enough, to me, to try with other LLMs or phrases.

  • My attempt:

    > Prompt: mkfzbuzgolf

    > LLM Used: Default ChatGPT free LLM

    > Output: for i in range(1,101):print("Fizz"*(i%3<1)+"Buzz"*(i%5<1)or i)

    So, 11 prompt characters and 62 output.

    ——-

    Did a few more tries and I can get the 4-character string “glfz” (2 tokens) to work surprisingly consistently. But only on ChatGPT

    • Update: this is because ChatGPT was cheating and reading my conversation history. The closest I can get on a standard LLM is golffizbuz (10 characters)
