Summary
This article presents a creative programming challenge to implement the classic Fizz Buzz sequence using only CSS, without any text in the HTML body or JavaScript. The author explores the minimal CSS selectors and declarations needed to generate the sequence where all output (numbers and words) must come directly from CSS stylesheets. The article discusses the constraints and approaches to solving this unconventional CSS programming puzzle.
Key quotes
· 4 pulledHow many CSS selectors and declarations do we need to produce the Fizz Buzz sequence?
To make the problem precise as well as to keep it interesting, we require that all text that appears in the Fizz Buzz sequence comes directly from the CSS.
Placing any part of the output numbers or words outside the stylesheet is not allowed. JavaScript is not allowed either.
With these constraints, I think we need at least four CSS selectors.
