$ cat fizzbuzz.prompt — what the model was asked
Write a Python function `fizzbuzz(n: int) -> list[str]` that returns a list of strings for numbers 1 through n: 'Fizz' for multiples of 3, 'Buzz' for multiples of 5, 'FizzBuzz' for multiples of both, and the number as a string otherwise. Include a docstring and at least one usage example.

## FizzBuzz Implementation
```python
def fizzbuzz(n: int) -> list[str]:
"""
Generate a FizzBuzz sequence from 1 to n (inclusive).
For each number in the range:
- Returns 'FizzBuzz' if the number is divisible by both 3 and 5
- Returns 'Fizz' if the number is divisible by 3 only
- Returns 'Buzz' if the number is divisible by 5 only
- Returns the number as a string otherwise
Args:
n: The upper bound of the sequence (inclusive). Must be a positive integer.
Returns:
A list of strings representing the FizzBuzz sequence from 1 to n.
Raises:
TypeError: If n is not an integer.
ValueError: If n is less than 1.
Examples:
>>> fizzbuzz(15)
['1', '2', 'Fizz', '4', 'Buzz', 'Fizz', '7', '8', 'Fizz', 'Buzz', '11', 'Fizz', '13', '14', 'FizzBuzz']
>>> fizzbuzz(5)
['1', '2', 'Fizz', '4', 'Buzz']
>>> fizzbuzz(1)
['1']
"""
if not isinstance(n, int):
raise TypeError(f"n must be an integer, got {type(n).__name__}")
if n < 1:
raise ValueError(f"n must be a positive integer, got {n}")
result = []
for i in range(1, n + 1):
if i % 15 == 0: # Check 15 first to avoid overriding FizzBuzz with Fizz/Buzz
result.append("FizzBuzz")
elif i % 3 == 0:
result.append("Fizz")
elif i % 5 == 0:
result.append("Buzz")
else:
result.append(str(i))
return result
# --- Usage Examples ---
if __name__ == "__main__":
# Basic usage
print("FizzBuzz up to 15:")
print(fizzbuzz(15))
# Formatted output
print("\nFormatted FizzBuzz up to 20:")
for index, value in enumerate(fizzbuzz(20), start=1):
print(f" {index:>2}: {value}")
# Edge cases
print(f"\nSingle element: {fizzbuzz(1)}")
print(f"Up to 5: {fizzbuzz(5)}")
```
### Sample Output
```
FizzBuzz up to 15:
['1', '2', 'Fizz', '4', 'Buzz', 'Fizz', '7', '8', 'Fizz', 'Buzz', '11', 'Fizz', '13', '14', 'FizzBuzz']
Formatted FizzBuzz up to 20:
1: 1
2: 2
3: Fizz
4: 4
5: Buzz
6: Fizz
7: 7
8: 8
9: Fizz
10: Buzz
11: 11
12: Fizz
13: 13
14: 14
15: FizzBuzz
16: 16
17: 17
18: Fizz
19: 19
20: Buzz
Single element: ['1']
Up to 5: ['1', '2', 'Fizz', '4', 'Buzz']
```
### Key Design Decisions
| Decision | Reason |
|---|---|
| Check `% 15` first | Cleanly handles the FizzBuzz case without nested conditions |
| `TypeError` / `ValueError` | Provides clear, actionable error messages for bad input |
| Returns `list[str]` | Consistent type — numbers are strings too, making iteration uniform |
| Validates `n >= 1` | An empty or negative range has no meaningful FizzBuzz output |
