fibonacci by fork()

1 New Member
Help me to write a C program using the fork() system call that that generates the Fibonacci sequence in the child process. The number of the sequence will be provided in the command line. For example, if 5 is provided, the first five numbers in the Fibonacci sequence will be output by the child process. Because the parent and child processes have their own copies of the data, it will be necessary for the child to output the sequence. Have the parent invoke the wait() call to wait for the child process to complete before exiting the program. Perform necessary error checking to ensure that a non-negative number is passed on the command line.

What is your question exactly?

This looks like some kind of class assignment problem.

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...

Im actually kinda embarassed to ask this question... @code start #include <iostream> int main() { unsigned long long a = 1; unsigned long long b = 1; for (int i = 0; i < 45; i++) { a += b; std::cout << a/b << std::endl;

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...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
