hi all, anyone see anything wrong with this? it prints out the days but the population or rather the fib calculation does not function.
Code:#include <stdio.h> #define MAX_LIMIT 10000000 long fib( long ); int main() { int day; for( day = 1; (fib(day) < MAX_LIMIT); day++ ) printf( "day:%d\t population:%ld\n", day, fib(day)); return 0; } long fib( long num ) { int n; if (n == 0) return 0; else if ( n == 1 ) return 1; else return fib(n-1) + fib(n-2); }
Didn't your compiler warn you:
Code:Parameter 'num' is never used in function fib
When all else fails, read the instructions.
If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
no it didnt warn me but after changing it
i still get the same problem
it loops and outputs the days and the population remains 0 always
I've got no idea what this thing does, or what the output is supposed to look like but scrapping int n and using num in the fib function gives a final output of
day:35 population:9227465
I haven't used a compiler in ages, so please be gentle as I try to reacclimate myself. :P
i changed it and it worked thanks ronin. But the weird thing is that dont i have to define num inside the brackets for what type it is? or is that already done in the function prototype?Code:long fib( long num ) { if (num == 0) return 0; else if ( num == 1 ) return 1; else return fib(num-1) + fib(num-2); }
I hope you know that you just ruined 50% of the replies you'd get if you were actually more specific with your subject title.C Board > General Programming Boards > C Programming > help
Obviously you're here for help.

> is that already done in the function prototype?
It's done right there, the function title/lable, whatever. Try using a variable that isn't in the function title like, FooChar.
Use it in this way
FuncTitle ( stuff )
{
/* stuff */
if ( FooChar )
etc
The world is waiting. I must leave you now.
