Answer the following questions:

What will happen if this code executes?

    int max = 500; 
    for (byte i = 0; i < max; i++) 
    { 
      WriteLine(i); 
    } 

Add a new console application named Ch03_Exercise02 and enter the preceding code. Run the console application and view the output. What happens?

What code could you add (don't change any of the preceding code) to warn us about the problem?

FizzBuzz is a group word game for children to teach them about division. Players take turns to count incrementally, replacing any number divisible by three with the word "fizz", any number divisible by five with the word "buzz", and any number divisible by both with "fizzbuzz".

Some interviewers give applicants simple FizzBuzz-style problems to solve during interviews. Most good programmers should be able to write out on paper or whiteboard a program to output a simulated FizzBuzz game in under a couple of minutes.

Want to know something worrisome? Many computer science graduates can't. You can even find senior programmers who take more than 10-15 minutes to write a solution.

Create a console application named Ch03_Exercise03 that outputs a simulated FizzBuzz game counting up to 100. The output should look something like this:

1, 2, Fizz, 4, Buzz, Fizz, 7, 8, Fizz, Buzz, 11, Fizz, 13, 14,  FizzBuzz, 16, 17,  
    Fizz, 19, Buzz, Fizz, 22, 23, Fizz, Buzz, 26, Fizz,  28, 29, FizzBuzz, 31, 32, 
    Fizz, 34, Buzz, Fizz, 37, 38, Fizz, Buzz,  41, Fizz, 43, 44, FizzBuzz, 46, 47, 
    Fizz, 49, Buzz, Fizz, 52, 53,  Fizz, Buzz, 56, Fizz, 58, 59, FizzBuzz, 61, 62,
    Fizz, 64, Buzz, Fizz,  67, 68, Fizz, Buzz, 71, Fizz, 73, 74, FizzBuzz, 76, 77,
    Fizz, 79,  Buzz, Fizz, 82, 83, Fizz, Buzz, 86, Fizz, 88, 89, FizzBuzz, 91, 92, 
    Fizz, 94, Buzz, Fizz, 97, 98, Fizz, Buzz

Create a console application named Ch03_Exercise04 that asks the user for two numbers in the range 0-255 and then divides the first number by the second:

Enter a number between 0 and 255: 100
Enter another number between 0 and 255: 8
100 divided by 8 is 12

Write exception handlers to catch any thrown errors:

Enter a number between 0 and 255: apples
Enter another number between 0 and 255: bananas
FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.
