Fibonacci search

Can anybody explain me what is a "Fibonacci search"?
even an URL will do.

Thanks for reading.

Hey,

The Fibonacci Sequence is defined such that the first two numbers of
the sequence are 0 and 1. subesequent numbers are the sum of the
previous two. e.g.

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 ......

try this for code (googled it)

http://cubbi.org/serious/fibonacci/c++.html

A search returns the N'th fibonacci number (the URL codes it up for
you).
good luck.

Perhaps this will help.

That's a Fibonacci sequence. A Fibonacci _search_ is an extension of
the idea of a binary search to the case where you want to find an
extremum rather than a particular value.

Hello, I have a small problem, I am trying to write a program that will calculate the Fibonacci number series, and I have the code complete with one problem. I used a long in to store the numbers, and when the numbers get too large it maxes out the int and I can't count any higher. I am trying to use extremely large numbers, I would like to use up to 10^50 or so. So my question is how do I do this? I'm just learning the language and I...

If you know the exact longitude and latitude for a specific location, would anyone think it'd make any sense to find out if this set of location numbers is really part of the Fibonacci series or not? Or, another way to look at this is that: Would anyone of you think it is worth a while to find out if there is any location on earth with the set of longitude and latitude numbers that coincides with the Fibonacci series? As I see it, if...

Hi everybody. I've been reading posts a year old about the fibonacci series right on this newsgroup, and while it's not directly games related, I'll share my own notes as well. On another newsgroup there is an ongoing discussion about the famous fibonacci sequences, and a fine program written by a poster got my attention so just for fun I wrote one myself and put it on the web just about two days ago. It can be found on the site ...

Hi, I'm trying to write a fibonacci recursive function that will return the fibonacci string separated by comma. The problem sounds like this: ------------- Write a recursive function that creates a character string containing the first n Fibonacci numbers - F(n) = F(n - 1) + F(n - 2), F(0) = F(1) = 1 -, separated by comma. n should be given as an argument to the program. The recursive function should only take one parameter, n, and...
