Task
99 bottles of beer
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

In this puzzle, write code to print out the entire "99 bottles of beer on the wall" song. For those who do not know the song, the lyrics follow this form:

X bottles of beer on the wall
X bottles of beer
Take one down, pass it around
X-1 bottles of beer on the wall

X-1 bottles of beer on the wall
...
Take one down, pass it around
0 bottles of beer on the wall

Where X and X-1 are replaced by numbers of course. Grammatical support for "1 bottle of beer" is optional. As with any puzzle, try to do it in as creative/concise/comical a way as possible (simple, obvious solutions allowed, too).

A preprocessor solution

Of course, with the template metaprogramming solution, the program has still do the conversion of numbers to strings at runtime, and those function calls also cost unnecessary time. Couldn't we just compose the complete text at compile time, and just output it at run time? Well, with the preprocessor, that's indeed possible:

<lang c>#include <stdlib.h>

  1. include <stdio.h>
  1. define BOTTLE(nstr) nstr " bottles of beer"
  1. define WALL(nstr) BOTTLE(nstr) " on the wall"
  1. define PART1(nstr) WALL(nstr) "\n" BOTTLE(nstr) \
                   "\nTake one down, pass it around\n"
  1. define PART2(nstr) WALL(nstr) "\n\n"
  1. define MIDDLE(nstr) PART2(nstr) PART1(nstr)
  1. define SONG PART1("100") CD2 PART2("0")
  1. define CD2 CD3("9") CD3("8") CD3("7") CD3("6") CD3("5") \
       CD3("4") CD3("3") CD3("2") CD3("1") CD4("")
  1. define CD3(pre) CD4(pre) MIDDLE(pre "0")
  1. define CD4(pre) MIDDLE(pre "9") MIDDLE(pre "8") MIDDLE(pre "7") \
MIDDLE(pre "6") MIDDLE(pre "5") MIDDLE(pre "4") MIDDLE(pre "3") \
MIDDLE(pre "2") MIDDLE(pre "1")

int main(void) {

 (void) printf(SONG);
 return EXIT_SUCCESS;

}</lang>

An inspection of the generated executable proves that it indeed contains the complete text of the song in one block.

The simple solution

<lang cpp>#include <iostream> using namespace std;

int main() {

int bottles = 99;
  do {
    cout << bottles << " bottles of beer on the wall" << endl;
    cout << bottles << " bottles of beer" << endl;
    cout << "Take one down, pass it around" << endl;
    cout << --bottles << " bottles of beer on the wall\n" << endl;
  } while (bottles > 0);

}</lang>

An object-oriented solution

A template metaprogramming solution

Of course, the output of the program always looks the same. One may therefore question why the program has to do all that tedious subtracting during runtime. Couldn't the compiler just generate the code to output the text, with ready-calculated constants? Indeed, it can, and the technique is called template metaprogramming. The following short code gives the text without containing a single variable, let alone a loop:

<lang cpp>#include <iostream>

template<int max, int min> struct bottle_countdown {

 static const int middle = (min + max)/2;
 static void print()
 {
   bottle_countdown<max, middle+1>::print();
   bottle_countdown<middle, min>::print();
 }

};

template<int value> struct bottle_countdown<value, value> {

 static void print()
 {
   std::cout << value << " bottles of beer on the wall\n"
             << value << " bottles of beer\n"
             << "Take one down, pass it around\n"
             << value-1 << " bottles of beer\n\n";
 }

};

int main() {

 bottle_countdown<100, 1>::print();
 return 0;

}</lang>

A Recursive solution

<lang cpp>#include <iostream> using namespace std; void rec(int bottles) { if ( bottles!=0)

{    
    cout << bottles << " bottles of beer on the wall" << endl; 
       cout << bottles << " bottles of beer" << endl;
       cout << "Take one down, pass it around" << endl; 
       cout << --bottles << " bottles of beer on the wall\n" << endl;    
   rec(bottles);
}  

}

int main()

{   

rec(99); system("pause"); return 0; } </lang>

Frink

Frink tracks units of measure through all calculations. It has a large library of built-in units of measure, including volume. The following program prints out the remaining volume of beer (assuming we start with 99 bottles of beer, each containing 12 fluid ounces) in different random units of volume, never repeating a unit. <lang frink> units = array[units[volume]] showApproximations[false]

for n = 99 to 0 step -1 {

  unit = units.removeRandom[]
  str = getBottleString[n, unit]
  
  println["$str of beer on the wall, $str."]
  if (n == 0)
     println["Go to the store and buy some more, 99 bottles of beer on the wall."]
  else
     println["Take one down and pass it around, " + getBottleString[n-1, unit] + " on the wall.\n"]

}

Groovy

Basic Solution

With a closure to handle special cardinalities of bottles. <lang groovy>def bottles = { "${it==0 ? 'No more' : it} bottle${it==1 ?  : 's' }" }

99.downto(1) { i ->

   print """

${bottles(i)} of beer on the wall ${bottles(i)} of beer Take one down, pass it around ${bottles(i-1)} of beer on the wall """ }</lang>

Single Print Version

Uses a single print algorithm for all four lines. Handles cardinality on bottles, uses 'No more' instead of 0. <lang groovy>298.downto(2) {

   def (m,d) = [it%3,(int)it/3]
   print "${m==1?'\n':}${d?:'No more'} bottle${d!=1?'s':} of beer" +
         "${m?' on the wall':'\nTake one down, pass it around'}\n"

}</lang>

Bottomless Beer Solution

Using more closures to create a richer lyrical experience. <lang groovy>def bottles = { "${it==0 ? 'No more' : it} bottle${it==1 ?  : 's' }" }

def initialState = {

 """${result(it)}

${resultShort(it)}""" }

def act = {

 it > 0 ?
     "Take ${it==1 ? 'it' : 'one'} down, pass it around" :
     "Go to the store, buy some more"

}

def delta = { it > 0 ? -1 : 99 }

def resultShort = { "${bottles(it)} of beer" }

def result = { "${resultShort(it)} on the wall" }

// //// uncomment commented lines to create endless drunken binge //// // // while (true) { 99.downto(0) { i ->

 print """

${initialState(i)} ${act(i)} ${result(i+delta(i))} """ } // Thread.sleep(1000) // }</lang>

GUISS

We will just use the calculator and keep taking one off. We do not get the full text here, but the number of the calculator shows how many bottles we still have left to drink:

<lang guiss>Start,Programs,Accessories,Calculator,Button:9,Button:9, Button:[hyphen],Button:1,Button:[equals],Button:[hyphen],Button:1,Button:[equals], Button:[hyphen],Button:1,Button:[equals],Button:[hyphen],Button:1,Button:[equals], Button:[hyphen],Button:1,Button:[equals],Button:[hyphen],Button:1,Button:[equals], Button:[hyphen],Button:1,Button:[equals],Button:[hyphen],Button:1,Button:[equals] </lang> We haven't drank all of the bottles at this point, but we can keep going, if we want.

Haskell

A relatively concise solution:

<lang haskell>main = mapM_ (putStrLn . beer) [99, 98 .. 0] beer 1 = "1 bottle of beer on the wall\n1 bottle of beer\nTake one down, pass it around" beer 0 = "better go to the store and buy some more." beer v = show v ++ " bottles of beer on the wall\n"

               ++ show v 
               ++" bottles of beer\nTake one down, pass it around\n" 
               ++ head (lines $ beer $ v-1) ++ "\n"</lang>

As a list comprehension:

<lang haskell>import qualified Char

main = putStr $ concat

  [up (bob n) ++ wall ++ ", " ++ bob n ++ ".\n" ++
   pass n ++ bob (n - 1) ++ wall ++ ".\n\n" |
   n <- [99, 98 .. 0]]
  where bob n = (num n) ++ " bottle" ++ (s n) ++ " of beer"
        wall = " on the wall"
        pass 0 = "Go to the store and buy some more, "
        pass _ = "Take one down and pass it around, "
        up (x : xs) = Char.toUpper x : xs
        num (-1) = "99"
        num 0    = "no more"
        num n    = show n
        s 1 = ""
        s _ = "s"</lang>

Another version, which uses a Writer monad to collect each part of the song. It also uses Template Haskell to generate the song at compile time.

<lang haskell>{-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-} -- build with "ghc --make beer.hs" module Main where import Language.Haskell.TH import Control.Monad.Writer

-- This is calculated at compile time, and is equivalent to -- songString = "99 bottles of beer on the wall\n99 bottles..." songString =

   $(let
        sing = tell -- we can't sing very well...
        someBottles 1 = "1 bottle of beer "
        someBottles n = show n ++ " bottles of beer "
        bottlesOfBeer n = (someBottles n ++) 
        verse n = do
          sing $ n `bottlesOfBeer` "on the wall\n"
          sing $ n `bottlesOfBeer` "\n"
          sing $ "Take one down, pass it around\n"
          sing $ (n - 1) `bottlesOfBeer` "on the wall\n\n"
        song = execWriter $ mapM_ verse [99,98..1]

Inform 7

Programmatic solution

<lang inform7>Beer Hall is a room.

When play begins: repeat with iteration running from 1 to 99: let N be 100 - iteration; say "[N] bottle[s] of beer on the wall[line break]"; say "[N] bottle[s] of beer[line break]"; say "Take one down, pass it around[line break]"; say "[N - 1] bottle[s] of beer on the wall[paragraph break]"; end the story.</lang>

World model solution

This solution uses in-game objects to represent the wall and the bottles.

<lang inform7>Beer Hall is a room.

The plural of bottle of beer is bottles of beer. A bottle of beer is a kind of thing.

The wall is a scenery supporter in Beer Hall. 99 bottles of beer are on the wall.

When play begins: while something is on the wall: say "[what's on the wall] on the wall[line break]"; say "[what's on the wall][line break]"; say "Take one down, pass it around[line break]"; remove a random thing on the wall from play; say "[what's on the wall] on the wall[paragraph break]"; end the story.

To say what's on the wall: if more than one thing is on the wall, say list of things on the wall; otherwise say "[number of things on the wall in words] bottle[s] of beer".</lang>

GUI

Library: Swing
Library: AWT

This version requires user interaction. The first two lines are shown in a text area on a window. The third line is shown on a button which you need to click to see the fourth line in a message box. The numbers update and the process repeats until "0 bottles of beer on the wall" is shown in a message box, when the program ends. <lang java>import java.awt.BorderLayout; import java.awt.event.ActionEvent; import java.awt.event.ActionListener; import javax.swing.JButton; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JOptionPane; import javax.swing.JTextArea; public class Beer extends JFrame implements ActionListener{

       private int x;
       private JButton take;
       private JTextArea text;
       public static void main(String[] args){
               new Beer();//build and show the GUI
       }
       public Beer(){
               x= 99;
               take= new JButton("Take one down, pass it around");

JavaScript

The simple solution

<lang javascript>// Line breaks are in HTML var beer = 99; while (beer > 0) {

document.write( beer + " bottles of beer on the wall
" ); document.write( beer + " bottles of beer
" ); document.write( "Take one down, pass it around
" ); document.write( (beer - 1) + " bottles of beer on the wall
" ); beer--;

}</lang>

More skilled solution "one-liner" with grammar check

<lang javascript>// Line breaks are in HTML var beer; while ((beer = typeof beer === "undefined" ? 99 : beer) > 0) document.write( beer + " bottle" + (beer != 1 ? "s" : "") + " of beer on the wall
" + beer + " bottle" + (beer != 1 ? "s" : "") + " of beer
Take one down, pass it around
" + (--beer) + " bottle" + (beer != 1 ? "s" : "") + " of beer on the wall
" );</lang>

Object Oriented with DOM

<lang javascript>// Line breaks are in HTML function Bottles(count){

   this.count = (!!count)?count:99;
   this.knock = function(){
       var c = document.createElement('div');
       c.id="bottle-"+this.count;

c.innerHTML = "

"+this.count+" bottles of beer on the wall

" +"

"+this.count+" bottles of beer!

" +"

Take one down,
Pass it around

" +"

"+(--this.count)+" bottles of beer on the wall


";

       document.body.appendChild(c);
   }
   this.sing = function(){
       while (this.count>0) { this.knock(); }
   }

}

(function(){

   var bar = new Bottles(99);
   bar.sing();

})();</lang>

An alternative version:

<lang javascript>function bottleSong(n) {

 if (!isFinite(Number(n)) || n == 0) n = 100;
 var a  = '%% bottles of beer',
     b  = ' on the wall',
     c  = 'Take one down, pass it around',
     r  = '

   my $s = "s" unless ($num == 1); #grammar
   print "$num bottle$s of beer on the wall\n";
   print "$num bottle$s of beer\n";

TXR

The (range 99 -1 -1) expression produces a lazy list of integers from 99 down to -1. The mapcar* function lazily maps these numbers to strings, and the rest of the code treats this lazy list as text stream to process, extracting the numbers with some pattern matching cases and interpolating them into the song's text. Functional programming with lazy semantics meets text processing, pattern matching and here documents.

<lang txr>@(next :list @(mapcar* (fun tostring) (range 99 -1 -1))) @(collect) @number @ (trailer) @number_less_1 @ (cases) @ (bind number "1") @ (output) 1 bottle of beer one the wall 1 bottle of beer @ (end) @ (or) @ (output) @number bottles of beer one the wall @number bottles of beer @ (end) @ (end) @ (cases) @ (bind number "0") @ (output) Go to the store and get some more, 99 bottles of beer on the wall!

@ (end) @ (or) @ (output) Take one down and pass it around @number_less_1 bottles of beer on the wall

@ (end) @ (end) @(end)</lang>

To make the song repeat indefinitely, change the first line to:

<lang txr>@(next :list @(mapcar* (fun tostring) (repeat (range 99 0 -1))))</lang>

Now it's processing an infinite lazy lists consisting of repetitions of the integer sequences 99 98 ... 0.

VBA

This version uses tail recursion and inline if-statements, plus a Static variable to count the number of bottles emptied.

<lang vb>Public Function countbottles(n As Integer, liquid As String) As String

 countbottles = IIf(n > 1, Format$(n), IIf(n = 0, "no more", "one")) & " bottle" & IIf(n = 1, "", "s") & " of " & liquid

End Function

Public Sub drink(fullbottles As Integer, Optional liquid As String = "beer") Static emptybottles As Integer

 Debug.Print countbottles(fullbottles, liquid) & " on the wall"
 Debug.Print countbottles(fullbottles, liquid)
 If fullbottles > 0 Then
   Debug.Print "take " & IIf(fullbottles > 1, "one", "it") & " down, pass it around"
   Debug.Print countbottles(fullbottles - 1, liquid) & " on the wall"
   Debug.Print
   emptybottles = emptybottles + 1
   drink fullbottles - 1, liquid
 Else
   Debug.Print "go to the store and buy some more"
   Debug.Print countbottles(emptybottles, liquid) & " on the wall"
 End If

End Sub</lang>

Usage: type "drink 99" in the Immediate window of the VBA editor. If you're not a beer drinker, you can specify your own favourite drink as the second argument; for example:

drink 3, "Johnnie Walker"

3 bottles of Johnnie Walker on the wall
3 bottles of Johnnie Walker
take one down, pass it around
2 bottles of Johnnie Walker on the wall

2 bottles of Johnnie Walker on the wall
2 bottles of Johnnie Walker
take one down, pass it around
one bottle of Johnnie Walker on the wall

one bottle of Johnnie Walker on the wall
one bottle of Johnnie Walker
take it down, pass it around
no more bottles of Johnnie Walker on the wall

no more bottles of Johnnie Walker on the wall
no more bottles of Johnnie Walker
go to the store and buy some more
3 bottles of Johnnie Walker on the wall

sub sing( numBottles ) dim i for i = numBottles to 0 step -1 if i = 0 then wscript.echo evalEmbedded("no more bottles of beer on the wall" & vbNewline & _ "no more bottles of beer" & vbNewline & _ "go to the store and buy some more" & vbNewline & _ "{pluralBottles(sP1)} of beer on the wall" & vbNewline, numBottles) else wscript.echo evalEmbedded("{pluralBottles(sP1)} of beer on the wall" & vbNewline & _ "{pluralBottles(sP1)} of beer" & vbNewline & _ "take {eef(sP1=1,""it"",""one"")} down and pass it round" & vbNewline & _ "{pluralBottles(sP1-1)} of beer on the wall" & vbNewline, i) end if next end sub
