New solution to same challenge in same language: Change existing answer or add new one?

+5
−0

A while ago I wrote an answer in C (gcc) to the FizzBuzz challenge. Now I've found a shorter solution for the same compiler, which however uses a completely different strategy.

Now I wonder if I should add that solution to my current answer, or instead add a new answer with that different solution.

Note that if it were a mere variation of the old code, it would clearly go to the existing answer, but it is a completely independent solution.

This is my existing post, and here you can see my new solution on TIO.

If they are completely different solutions, I would say they should be judged separately.
