Issue: I've completed steps 1-4 of this assignment. However, I'm currently stuck on steps 5 and 6 of this assignment, so I'm at a loss on how to combine my fizz and buzz String arrays into a separate fizzbuzz String array.
TL;DR I don't know how to do steps five and six.
Assignment:
You can do this all in the main method. This is using a game called Fizz-Buzz, an ancient programmer’s game.
Start by initializing some variables to set the maximum and minimum value of a random number and for the capacity of an array. (20/100)
Initialize three new arrays, one for a list of random numbers (as integers) and two for String arrays called ‘fizz’ and ‘buzz’.(20/100)
You’ll also need an integer for counting.
Write a for loop that generates a random number for each position in the array. Remember that the range for this will be set by the two variables initialized at the beginning of the file. There are multiple ways to create a random number, just find one that works for you. (20/100)
Using the count of the arrays, create another array that will store all of the fizzes and buzzes without any extra space leftover in the array. (20/100)
Use a for each loop to iterate the array and print all of the fizzes and buzzes, with no other output. (20/100)
