Hey everyone. I recently decided to teach myself C programming by going through a college textbook and doing every single practice problem in the book. I'm still very new and prone to making lots of mistakes like this one:
I'm trying to write a program to print the first 10 digits of a Fibonacci sequence. For those that don't know, a Fibonacci sequence is one where each number is the sum of the previous two numbers. Basically, I want the program to print the following 0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 (using mathematics, not just a blanket printf statement
). Now here's the catch... I've read a bit ahead and I know that this program could be more easily accomplished with a for loop, however, in an effort to learn things in the proper order, I've elected to do it the hard way. Here's my code so far.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(void)
{
/*Local Definitions*/
int fib1 = 0;
int fib2 = 1;
int fib3 = 1;
int temp = 0;
/*Statements*/
printf("%2d", fib1);
printf("%2d", fib2);
printf("%2d", fib3);
temp = fib1 + fib2;
fib1 = fib2;
fib2 = fib3;
fib3 = temp;
printf("%2d", fib3);
printf("\n");
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}
Now this if just for the first few numbers in the sequence, but I'll add on when the program is working properly. Can anyone offer any help?
Thanks in advance.
