Another reason not to like the FizzBuzz example is that it's quite closely balanced between two reasonable approaches (whether to just special-case multiples of 15 and say 'FizzBuzz', or whether to somehow add the Fizz and the Buzz together in that case). The interviewee might reasonably guess that this distinction is what's being tested, and get unnecessarily stressed about it. -M- -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
