Stanford CS106A Section Assignment 2 Fibonacci Sequence Solution
So after solving this and looking at the solution, I definitely made this complicated by trying to incorporate what I learned in Lecture 7. Should have completed this before watching all the stuff about methods! On the up side, I at least go to practice the new stuff. Here is the problem:
Here are the possible solutions:
The solution from the class makes this look pretty simple:
Here is my solution, which incorporates the creation of methods that we learned from Lecture 7. My solution is not as elegant, but it works 🙂 You can also find it on gist.
/* * This is the solution to the Section Handout #2 from the * Stanford CS106A online class */ import acm.program.*; public class FibonacciSequence extends ConsoleProgram { private static final int MAX_TERM_VALUE = 10000; public void run() { println( "This program lists the Fibonacci sequence" ); int term = 0; int i = 0; while (term < MAX_TERM_VALUE) { term = fib(i); if (term < MAX_TERM_VALUE) { println(term); } i++; } } private int fib(int n) { //Fib(0) = 0 //Fib(1) = 1 //Fib(2) = 1 (0 + 1) = fib(0) + fib(1) //Fib(3) = 2 (1 + 1) = fib(1) + fib(2) //Fib(4) = 3 (1 + 2) = fib(2) + fib(3) //Fib(5) = 5 (2 + 3) = fib(3) + fib(4) if (n==0) { return 0; } if (n==1) { return 1; } if (n>1) { return fib(n-1) + fib(n-2); } return 0; //need to include this in case someone enters in a negative # } }
