I have a question on my homework for class and I need to know how to return nth number of Fibonacci sequence using iteration (no recursion allowed).
I need some tips on how to do this so I can better understand what I am doing wrong. I output to the console in my program.cs, hence it being absent in the code below.
// Q1)
//
// Return the Nth Fibonacci number in the sequence
//
// Input: uint n (which number to get)
// Output: The nth fibonacci number
//
public static UInt64 GetNthFibonacciNumber(uint n)
{
// Return the nth fibonacci number based on n.
if (n == 0 || n == 1)
{
return 1;
}
// The basic Fibonacci sequence is
// 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34...
// f(0) = 1
// f(1) = 1
// f(n) = f(n-1) + f(n-2)
///////////////
//my code is below this comment
uint a = 0;
uint b = 1;
for (uint i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
n = b + a;
a = b;
b = n;
}
return n;

static ulong Fib(int n)
{
double sqrt5 = Math.Sqrt(5);
double p1 = (1 + sqrt5) / 2;
double p2 = -1 * (p1 - 1);
double n1 = Math.Pow(p1, n + 1);
double n2 = Math.Pow(p2, n + 1);
return (ulong)((n1 - n2) / sqrt5);
}
Just for a little fun you could do it with an infinite Fibonacci list and some IEnumerable extensions
public IEnumerable<int> Fibonacci(){
var current = 1;
var b = 0;
while(true){
var next = current + b;
yield return next;
b = current;
current = next;
}
}
public T Nth<T>(this IEnumerable<T> seq, int n){
return seq.Skip.(n-1).First();
}
Getting the nth number would then be
Fibonacci().Nth(n);
I think this should do the trick:
uint a = 0;
uint b = 1;
uint c = 1;
for (uint i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
c = b + a;
a = b;
b = c;
}
return c;
public static int GetNthFibonacci(int n)
{
var previous = -1;
var current = 1;
int index = 1;
int element = 0;
while (index++ <= n)
{
element = previous + current;
previous = current;
current = element;
}
return element;
}
public IEnumerable<BigInteger> FibonacciBig(int maxn)
{
BigInteger Fn=1;
BigInteger Fn_1=1;
BigInteger Fn_2=1;
yield return Fn;
yield return Fn;
for (int i = 3; i < maxn; i++)
{
Fn = Fn_1 + Fn_2;
yield return Fn;
Fn_2 = Fn_1;
Fn_1 = Fn;
}
}
you can get the n-th Number by
FibonacciBig(100000).Skip(n).First();
This is the solution for your homework, you should start from 3 because you already have numbers for f1 and f2 (first two numbers). Please note that there is no point in getting 0th Fibonacci number.
public static UInt64 GetNthFibonacciNumber(uint n)
{
// Return the nth fibonacci number based on n.
if (n == 1 || n == 2)
{
return 1;
}
uint a = 1;
uint b = 1;
uint c;
for (uint i = 3; i <= n; i++)
{
c = b + a;
a = b;
b = c;
}
return c;
}
public static UInt64 GetNthFibonacciNumber(uint n)
{
if (n == 0 || n == 1)
{
return 1;
}
UInt64 a = 1, b = 1;
uint i = 2;
while (i <= n)
{
if (a > b) b += a;
else a += b;
++i;
}
return (a > b) ? a : b;
}
public static List<int> PrintFibonacci(int number)
{
List<int> result = new List<int>();
if (number == 0)
{
result.Add(0);
return result;
}
else if (number == 1)
{
result.Add(0);
return result;
}
else if (number == 2)
{
result.AddRange(new List<int>() { 0, 1 });
return result;
}
else
{
//if we got thus far,we should have f1,f2 and f3 as fibonacci numbers
int f1 = 0,
f2 = 1;
result.AddRange(new List<int>() { f1, f2 });
for (int i = 2; i < number; i++)
{
result.Add(result[i - 1] + result[i - 2]);
}
}
return result;
}
