Thread: loop help

im not that great at programming, but ill try to give you what help i can:
i know (or at least im pretty sure) that you are going to want to use an array. define an array of 500 ints (we will call it fibonachi in this example [and please excuse my poor spelling]), with the first 2 having a value of 1. then you will have a loop of something to this effect:

Code:

for (int i = 3; i < 500; i++)
{
  fibonachi[i] = fibonachi[i-1] + fibonachi[i-2];
  cout <<fibonachi[i];
}

i think that will work, i didnt actually test the code, just wrote it as i made the post, and as i stated before, im not the greatest at programming, but as far as i can tell it works.

Code:

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
  int f;
  int f1 = 0;
  int f2 = 1;
  cour <<"The first number is 0.\nThe second number is 1.\n";
  for (int i = 3; i < 500; i++)
  {
    f = f1 + f2;
    cout <<"The " <<i <<" number is " <<f <<".\n";
    f2 = f1;
    f1 = f;
  }
  return 0;
}

<edit>it quickly gets too large to be of any use, though</edit>

Howabout this:

Code:

int i, z, tmp;

cout << 1 << endl; //EDIT: this will make the whole sequence correct
for(i = 0, z = 1; i + z <= 500;) { // allows you to test its < 500 and stop
   cout << (i+z) << endl;  // outpuput to screec
   tmp = i;   // remember what this was
   i = z;     // move the numbers "back" one
   z += tmp;  // Algorithmic increment
}

[EDIT] no smileys

[ANOTHER EDIT] I compiled it and it gave me:
1
1
2
3
5
8
13
21
34
55
89
144
233
377
as output. I do believe this is correct.
