Can anyone help me please with a fibonacci program?

[ayman723]

I wrote this program code :

# include < iostream >

# include < iomanip >

using namespace std;

unsigned long factorial ( unsigned long );

int main ()

{

for ( int i = 0 ; i <= 10; i ++ )

cout << setw ( 2) << i << " ! = " << factorial (i) << endl;

return 0;

}

unsigned long factorial ( unsigned long number )

{

unsigned long product = 1;

for ( unsigned long i=1; i<=number; ++i )

{

product = product * i ;

}

return product;

}

How can I determine the largest fibonacci number that can be printed on my system ?

anyone please.

Hi..
This is like spoon feeding...Please try something rather than depending on others. This is a simple program and please try to give an attempt... Also please dont send the same query again and again. It irritates a lot.

This query I have seen for almost 3 times....

Try out yourself....I have already given a solution for your question...Try understanding yourself. Also please dont ask any stupid question again.

Thanx

anyone please.

First find the largest number that can be printed on your system.
Then the problem becomes that of finding the largest fibbo number less or equal to a number

I GOT 13! WAS THE LAST CORRECT NUMBER, 14! LOOKED FUNNY. DOES THAT MEANS THAT 13! WAS THE HIGHEST NUMBER ?

[ayman723]

i also want to add that eventhough 14! is giving me funny numbers, but I was gitting results ( funny results ) up to 33!, so which one I should considir highest 14! or 33! ?

thanks

I am not sure if you are aware of this but in normal net etiquet using all capitals is considered to be shouting and some what aggresive or rude.

Fibonacci or Factorial?

Fib(n) = Fib(n-1) + Fib(n-2)
Fact(n) = n*Fact(n-1)

When the number gets too large, it will overflow. That means the sign changes. This is always true for addition. In general, it's not always the case for multiplying two numbers. However, for factorials it is.

Write a loop that calculates the next factorial or Fibonacci number. After calculating it, compare it to the previous one. If the previous one is now larger, then it overflowed. The previous of the two is the biggest your system can handle.

Hi check this...Is this what you want???
I' ve not checked the output...Please test this program extensively and let me know if it works for all machines.....

long fact(long num)
{        
  long product = 1;    
  for(long i=1; i<=num; ++i)
  {
     try
     {
        product *= i;
        if((INT_MAX - product) < product*(i+1))
        {
    throw "Reached Max limit";                 
        }                
     }
     catch (char* msg)
     {    
         cout<<msg<<endl;                 
        cout<<"The max factorial value your system can       handle :"<<product<<endl;
        return -1;
      }
   }
    return product;
}
 
int main(int argc, char** argv[])
{
     for ( long i = 0 ; i <= 15; i++ )
      {
         int val = fact(i);
         if( val == -1 )
    break;
         else
    cout << setw ( 2) << i << " ! = " << val << endl;
       }                        
      return 0;
}
