Determining the Fibonacci sequence is easy enough to figure out:
int num = 0;
int num2 = 1;
int loop;
int fibonacci;
System.out.print(num2);
for (loop = 1; loop <= 10; loop ++)
{
fibonacci = num + num2;
num = num2;
num2 = fibonacci;
System.out.print(" " + fibonacci);
}
My problem lies with trying to pinpoint the value for a specified N. As in, If I want to find the 6th element in the sequence, which is 8, how would I find that number, and only that number?
In your code, num
starts as the 0th Fibonacci number, and num1
as the 1st. So to find the nth, you have to iterate the step n
times:
for (loop = 0; loop < n; loop ++)
{
fibonacci = num + num2;
num = num2;
num2 = fibonacci;
}
System.out.print(num);
and only print it when you've finished.
When the loop counter loop
has the value k
, num
holds the kth Fibonacci number and num2
the (k+1)th.
