fizzbuzz - C / C++ Interview: Code Optimization -

i had interview today. question optimize code below. if see code below after loop there 4 steps of "if-else" follows. so, interviewer asked me optimize 3 if-else line. have tried lot. not able find solution. told me if know scripting language then, can use them also. please me in optimizing same.

int main() {     int = 1;     for(i; <= 100; i++)     {         if((i % 3 == 0 && % 5 == 0))         {cout << "pr\n";}         else if(i % 3 == 0)         {cout << "p\n";}         else if(i % 5 == 0)         {cout << "r\n";}         else         {cout << <<"\n";}     } system("pause"); return 0; } 

this known question... "fizzbuzz".

you can solve without explicit ifs

const char *messages[] = {"%i\n", "p\n", "r\n", "pr\n"};  (i=1; i<=100; i++) {     printf(messages[((i % 3)==0) + 2*((i % 5)==0))], i); }
