# Challenge

This challenge is based on the Fizz Buzz challenge, and here is a recap: output the numbers from 1 to 100 inclusive, each number on its own line, but if the number is a multiple of 3, you should output "Fizz" instead of the original number, if the number is a multiple of 5, you should output "Buzz" instead of the original number. If the number is a multiple of 15, you should output "FizzBuzz" instead of the original number.

However, in addition to the requirement above, you should also indent each line using spaces to make that every column contains unique characters (excluding spaces and newlines) only. The spaces prepended to each line are the minimum required to make all the lines appeared before it (inclusive) has unique characters in each column.

For example, 1,2,Fizz,4 does not need any indentation because they already have unique characters in each column (column 1: 12F4, column2: i, column3: z, column4: z), but when adding Buzz we need to indent by two spaces because otherwise we would have two z's in both the 3rd and the 4th column. Since two spaces is enough to achieve the goal you should not indent it by three spaces. 7 and 8 does not need any indentation but when outputting 11 we need to indent by one space because the 1st column already has a 1. 13 then needs to be indented by three spaces because now 1st, 2nd and 3rd column all have a 1. Indentation for the remaining lines follow the same rule.

To make the challenge simpler, The upper limit has been changed to 50.

# Specs

• You can write a program or a function. Neither of them should take any non-empty input. Taking an empty input is fine.

• Since this is a KC challenge you need to produce the output as specified in the Introduction section. A single trailing newline is fine. No heading newlines or extra heading spaces. No extra trailing spaces for each line.

• Your program can exit with error or have non-empty STDERR output as long as STDOUT conforms to the specification.

• This is intra-language , the program with lowest number of bytes wins in its language.

• Default loopholes apply.

• The given output doesn't exactly match the spec, e.g. lines 12, 20, 35 and 50. Mar 28 '18 at 4:10
• But the second character in the first two lines is carriage return. Mar 28 '18 at 14:53
• I have excluded spaces, now I should exclude newlines as well. Mar 28 '18 at 15:23

A fifty-byte lookup table seems to hurt the code size less than the logic necessary to track which characters have occurred in each column.

• Logic would have been better if we were required to print up to 100 instead... Mar 28 '18 at 22:55

Edits:

• while is shorter than for..range() by 1 byte.
• Thanks to @ovs for shaving off 3 bytes. I always forget exec...
• Adapted i%3/2 trick from Lynn's answer (-2 bytes).
• @Lynn suggested a=map(set,[[]]*99), but I found another way using eval and repr with same bytes (-4 bytes).

Use a list of sets to track the chars used for each column, and set inequality for membership. The rest follows the exact spec given.

Double credit goes to Lynn here, for the lookup table approach and the fizzbuzz algorithm.

The FizzBuzz algorithm is very interesting, and it hinges on the remarkable coincidence that all positive, non-composite numbers less than 15 (other than 3 and 5), when raised to the 4th power, are 1 more than a multiple of 15. In fact:

 n     n**4  n**4%15  n**4%-15
1        1     1       -14
2       16     1       -14
3       81     6        -9
4      256     1       -14
5      625    10        -5
6     1296     6        -9
7     2401     1       -14
8     4096     1       -14
9     6561     6        -9
10    10000    10        -5
11    14641     1       -14
12    20736     6        -9
13    28561     1       -14
14    38416     1       -14
15    50625     0         0


The values 3**4%15 and 5**4%15 are exactly 4 apart: the length of the string "Fizz". We can exploit this by using them to index from the end of a string, at least 9 characters in length. Multiples of 3 will index from the beginning of the string, and multiples of 5 will index from 5 characters from the end. Every other number will attempt to index from before the beginning of the string, and fail, returning nil. Then 15, of course, indexes from the 0th character. The fact that "FizzBuzz" is only 8 characters long is a small obstacle; we use a newline character to pad it, which will later be ignored by puts.

It's possible that the lookup table can be out-golfed by a more procedural approach, but my attempt was in the neighborhood of 190 bytes.

• Interesting. It should be noted that the fact all numbers coprime to 15 when raised to 4th power equal to 1 modulo 15 can be derived from Fermat's little theorem. Mar 28 '18 at 21:45
