    Fibonacci Sequence

    I'm new to c++ programming! I need some help writing a program that generates then prints out the terms of the fibonacci sequence. Any suggestions?

    Any number in the Fibonacci Sequence is equal to the sum of the two previous numbers. You start with 0 and 1.

    Code:
    0       = 0
    1       = 1
    0 + 1 = 1
    1 + 1 = 2
    1 + 2 = 3
    3 + 2 = 5
    5 + 3 = 8
    8 + 5 = 13
    etc...
    I'm SURE you can figure it out from there!!!

    Try a recursive function, that's how it's done in the Deitel textbook. The numbers get large pretty quickly, though.

    Post Here's a hint...

    try this (easier said than done):

    a[n] += a[n-1] + a[n-2]
    -Save the whales. Collect the whole set.

    Try this code:

    #include <stdio.h>

    void main(void)
    {
    char get_key;
    int x = 1;
    int y;
    int z;
    /* just make a loop for the rest of the code to limit how high it counts in fibonacci numbers. A for( ; ; loop may be best. */

    printf("%f", x);
    z = x + y;
    x = z;

    Sorry - pressed send key to early.

    Sorry, pressed the send key accidentally. Just make the following changes to the code:

    After you have the printf statement, add, "y = x" on the next line. At the end, add, "getch(get_key);", and on the final line, "}".
    That should, work, but double check some of variable assignements and math.
