    Golden Ratio

    hey,

    I have to draw a spiral in my console window using the Fibonacci numbers.
    I have to use a 2D array and plot in the values.

    I have this algorithim which finds the values but I don't think this is enough. I need to find the values so I can draw the dots and make up the spiral.

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <string>
    using namespace std;
    
    static const int n=20;
    
    class ratio
        {
        public:
            ratio(int a):result(a==0?0:a==1?1:ratio(a-1)+ratio(a-2))
                { /* empty */ }
                
        public:operator int(){return result;}
        private:int result;
        
        };
        
        int main()
        {
            for(int a=0;a<n;a++)
            //cout <<"\n Golden Ratio("<<a<<")\t"<< ratio(a);
            cout << ratio(a) << "\n";
            return 0;
        }
    thanks,mas

    You will probably want to look into use of a graphics library to go with your protocol. Consoles are line by line displays. You could declare a large char array with space char to represent no data point and some other char to represent data point and print out line by line using ASCII text, but I doubt that's what you had in mind. There are a number of graphics libraries available. A search of the board may you give you some places to go, etc.
