Fibonacci sequence in c++

[anytime]

im trying to write a program that will ask the user for "how many numbers in the Fibonacci sequence they would like to see?".

i need to also check to make sure that the number is at least two numbers the user wants to see. (using the if statement)
and output the numbers in sequence (use a for loop)

can someone create a program that will do this?
i been trying to write this, but it is to difficult and i keep getting lost.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
  //How many numbers would you like to see? use cout
  //get number use cin
  //check that number >= 2 use an if statement
  //display numbers with a newline between each.  Probably using a loop.  use a for loop with a nested cout and an endl at the end
  //Use a wait command so the program doesn't exit
  return 0;
}

Turn my comments into code and you have your program.

i need some more help.im getting lost. im a noob at this.

Give us what you have saying code my homework for me won't get you far here at all.

[anytime]

i got this far. i dont know how to form the if statement and for loop yet.
\
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main (int argc, char* argv[])
{
cout<<"How many numbers would you like to see";
getline(cin, input);

int main (int argc, char* argv[])
{
cout<<"How many numbers would you like to see";
cin.getline;

input is undefined at this point. You might even want a do... while loop instead on getting user input... Is it supposed to exit when they enter a number less than 2? Or re-ask the question?

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main (int argc, char* argv[])
{
   
   cout<<"How many numbers would you like to see";
   getline(cin, input); 
   

return 0;
}

[anytime]

it is suppose to re-ask the question if it is lower than 2

[~Kyo~]

define input as an int in ain before you use it.

like: int x but using input instead.

use a do.. while loop for the user getting info.

so

do
{
   //ask for input and get it
}while(/*condition*/);  /*condition will use input and probably the number 2 you can use the following
 >,<,>=,<=,== so a > b if a is bigger than b; or a < b if a is smaller than b; a >= b a is bigger than or
 equal to b; a == b a is the same as b*/

i keep on getting lost. ima need some help. i try putting in integers. i dont how to put the fibonacci sequence in code.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main (int argc, char* argv[])
{
int fib1 = 0;
int fib2 = 1;
int fib3;
int numbers;


cout<<"How many numbers would you like to see";
cin >> numbers;

for (numbers >= 2;

fib3 = fib1 + fib2;
cout << fib3;
fib1 = fib2;
fib2 = fib3;
system("pause");
return 0;
}

OK, let's just assume you knew how to calculate fibonacci numbers by hand. How many numbers would you have to calculate before you get to the 6th term? How about the 12,047th? You have to count n terms starting from m. So would the computer.

[~Kyo~]

Well the math for the sequence is really something like

int fib1 = 0;
int fib2 = 1;

You could do something like

fib2 = fib2 + fib1;
fib1 = fib2 - fib1;

every loop you would have 2 new numbers and fib2 will always be the new number...

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main (int argc, char* argv[])
{
   int fib1 = 0;
   int fib2 = 1;
   int fib3;
   int numbers;
   do
   {       
    cout<<"How many numbers would you like to see?";
    cin >> numbers;
    }while(numbers <= 2);
    cout<<fib1<<endl<<fib2<<endl;  //keep in mind you want to see the first 2 as well
    for(int loop = 2;loop < numbers;loop++)    
    {
        fib3 = fib1 + fib2;
        cout << fib3;
        fib1 = fib2;
        fib2 = fib3;
    }
    system("pause");
    return 0;
}

A little bit on loops...

for loops

for(
/*some control could be defined outside the loop*/;
/*some condition*/ ;
/*something to modify the control*/)
{
  //stuff to do
}

[anytime]

this is how far i got. need more help

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
int fib;
int fib1 = 0;
int fib2 = 1;
int n = 0;
cout<<"How many numbers would you like to see? ";
cin>> fib;
cin.ignore();
if ( fib < 2 );
cout<<"please pick a number higher then 2\n";


return (1);
}
