Fibonacci series 2005 (once more just for fun :) )

[CII]

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

http://www.geocities.com/yssmlp

What I like about my program is that it's both small and fast, and it
makes a point: It's 207 bytes large, it handles nearly 300,000 terms
and it is very fast- it yields the first thousand or so terms in a
couple of seconds, I haven't measured it.

It is not (and it wasn't) my intention to compete trying to make the
best fibonacci program yet -incidentally I find the original poster's
attempt much better (much more elegant) than mine. What I wanted
instead was rather simply to have some fun analyzing a different
perspective from where to look at the famous sequence.

Oh yeah, and it's written in masm, for dos, in 2005, in 16 bit code
unoptimized :) (just joking)
Cheers.

[I'm posting on several groups because I'm sure some people in them may
be interested in this topic, so please bear with me, Thank you.]

Here's the code for the fast and the curious:

..MODEL TINY
;----------
;PLAYING WITH FIBONACCI NUMBERS BY YSS (MAY 2005)
;
;F(N+2)=F(N+1)+F(N)
; F(0)=0, F(1)=1
;
;MAX TERMS = (60000 - LOG(SQR(5))/(LOG(1+SQR(5)/2))) / (LOG(1+SQR(5)/2))

; = 287090 APPROX.
;
;WHERE '60000' IS THE TOTAL NUMBER OF POSSIBLE DIGITS.
;
;THIS PROGRAM CALCS AND OUTPUTS THE 'FIBONACCI' SERIES TO STDOUT UP TO
;ABOUT 287000+ TERMS. IT'S NOT VERY FAST DUE TO:
;
; - NO OR LITTLE OPTIMIZATION (THIS CODE WAS WRITTEN 'ON THE FLY')
; - THE COMPRESSION OF THE DIGITS:
; EACH BYTE HOLDS TWO DECIMAL DIGITS IN LO-HI ORDER,
; THAT TAKES A LITTLE EXTRA TIME.
; - EACH DIGIT IS OUTPUT TO STDOUT ONE AT A TIME.
; A SPEED INCREASE OF OVER 32% CAN BE GAINED IF A FULL STRING
; IS OUTPUT INSTEAD.
;
;
;TWO ACCUMULATORS ARE USED, X1 AND X2, EACH CAPABLE OF HANDLING UP TO
60000
;DIGITS (30000 BYTES LONG EACH).
;
;USE:
;SET TL = MAX # OF TERMS -> ASSEMBLE -> F7 TO SEE RESULTS TO STDOUT
;TERMS ARE OUTPUT ONE LINE AT A TIME (ENDED WITH 0D 0A)

Flameproof underpants on.

Algorithms are offtopic in CLC
Masm is offtopic in CLC.
there is no 'this group' when you x-post to ten groups
x-posting to wildly unrelated groups is insane
admitting you know its offtopic is insulting

Perhaps you meant well, but this was plain stupid. If you really have
something you want to show people, post it whre its topical.

Opinions vary. "Wildly unrelated groups" are you sure?
Did I "admit" it's an off topic issue?
Whre would it be topical?

Never mind any of this and just ignore the post, it's that simple!

Assholes that crosspost to 6 newsgroups, especially when off-topic in at
least 5 of them, often fall back on this absurd defense. The answer is
not that we should ignore your antisocial antics; it is that you should
learn to behave.

Good lord, people, is it really that big of a deal? Sure, I don't
particularly care to hear about the Fibonacci sequence written in any
other language than C (on this newsgroup) either but CII just wanted to
have a little fun. There's certainly no need for the language and
obscene comments; give it a rest.

Well I think that "crossposting" as it is is much better than the filth
you're typing as language. Mind my saying, you are the ones that need a
little re-educating (:)). Don't think I can't cuss too, it just isn't
part of my education. I never realized that posting a mathematical
matter to computer language groups was off topic you spods, specially
when it's an algorithm that may show a thing or two, regardless of the
"language" it is written in, after all mathematics is an universal
language and is a very important part of computer programming, or is it
antisocial too?

You should be grateful for different (possibly new) information. I
don't even read your newsgroups in case you haven't noticed, I just
thought I'd share something with all those involved (i.e., computer
programmers).

Nice way to learn and to improve yourself, to shut your brains, way to
go!

Two points. First, in my opinion, your crossposting is worse that a
few naughty words. Second, it doesn't matter which is worse; someone
else's misbehavior (if that's what it is) doesn't excuse yours.

Well, it is. I'm reading this in comp.lang.c, where we discuss the C
programming language as defined by the ANSI/ISO standards. This is a
high-volume group that's in constant danger of being overwhelmed by
off-topic posts. If we want to read about something other than C, we
go to other newsgroups.

Perhaps that's why you didn't know that your article is off-topic.
It's considered rude to post to a newsgroup without knowing something
about it. Lurk for a little while, or browse the archives. Read the
FAQ. And if you have nothing to say that's topical for the newsgroup
to which you're posting, post somewhere else or don't post at all.

"A few naughty words", so that's what you're about, but then of course
you said it yourself, it's your opinion.

Usefulness and effectiveness in danger, rather. If there weren't a
need for focused groups, I'm sure Usenet could have done just fine
with a single group misc.talk.everything.
