In the sequence, 0 1 1 2 3 5..., the next number is obtained by adding together the previous two numbers.
Write a program that accepts a positive integer as input and generates that number of terms of the sequence.
PHP:
<? // generate a random number // this will be the amount of numbers that will be generated $number = mt_rand(2, 25); // start the sequence with zero and one $sequence = array(0, 1); // loop from the third number in the sequence until no more are needed for ($n = 2; $n < $number; $n++) // add the value just before and before that to the end of the array $sequence[] = $sequence[$n-1] + $sequence[$n-2]; // show how many are going to be displayed echo 'First ' . $number . ' numbers of the Fibonacci sequence:<br />'; // join all the parts of the sequence array together and show to the user echo implode(' ', $sequence);?>Which produces:
First 20 numbers of the Fibonacci sequence:
0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 144 233 377 610 987 1597 2584 4181
C++:
#include <stdio.h>#include <stdlib.h>int main(int argc, char* argv[]){ int iMax = atoi(argv[1]); int fibonacci[iMax]; int iCurrent = 0, iCounter = 2; fibonacci[0] = 0; fibonacci[1] = 1; printf("0, 1"); while (iCounter < iMax) { iCurrent = fibonacci[iCounter-1] + fibonacci[iCounter-2]; fibonacci[iCounter++] = iCurrent; printf(", %d", iCurrent); } }
