Python program for Zip, Zap and Zoom game

Last Updated : 04 Feb, 2021

Zip zap zoom is a fun game that requires its players to concentrate and participate actively. When this game is played with people, this is how it is played:

Players stand in a circle, 6 feet away from each other
One player starts the game by clap-pointing and saying zap to the person on its left
This person now does the same to the person to its right and says zap
Third person so selected now can choose anyone irrespective of the direction by saying zoom
Now the person so selected starts the game again with zap and the continues in this fashion
If somebody messes up in between the game is restarted.

In Python programming this game will be achieved by the following approach.

Approach

Take in a number as input from the user.
Check if the number is multiple of both 3 and 5, if it is then print “Zoom”.
If it is not, then check if the number is a multiple of 3, if it is then print “Zip”.
If it is a multiple of 5 instead, print “Zap”.
Else, print a default statement.

Example:

Input:6
Output:
Zip

Here is a simple and fun illustration describing the same:

Program:

C++

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
void zzz(int number)
{
    if (number % 3 == 0 && number % 5 == 0) 
        cout << "Zoom\n";
    else if (number % 3 == 0)      
        cout << "Zip\n";
    else if (number % 5 == 0)        
        cout << "Zap\n";
    else
        cout << "Invalid number!\n";  
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
     
    // Calling function
    zzz(7);
    zzz(6);
    zzz(5);
    zzz(30);
     
    return 0;
}

Python3

def main():
    zzz(7)
    zzz(6)
    zzz(5)
    zzz(30)
 
 
def zzz(number):
    if number % 3 == 0 and number % 5 == 0:
        print("Zoom")
    elif number % 3 == 0:
        print("Zip")
    elif number % 5 == 0:
        print("Zap")
    else:
        print("Invalid number!")
 
 
main()

Output:

Invalid number!
Zip
Zap
Zoom
