MPGH Logistic Programming Challenge

Posts 1–15 of 33 · Page 1 of 3

Me, Void, and User1 have been racing to the finish on programs that involve high amounts of preparation and logical thinking to program. Seemingly simple projects may prove to be more difficult than you think.

The main focus of these projects is to use the basic C++ compiler options and make programs that fit the requirements of the challenge. Use this opportunity to think outside the box. Both beginning and advanced programmers can participate.

So here is the first challenge:
Fibonacci Sequence

If you don't know what the Fibonacci Sequence is, refer to this Wikipedia link: Fibonacci number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaⓘ
Basically, you can find a number in a sequence by adding the two numbers before it together.
Your job is to make a program that is able find the nth term of the Fibonacci Sequence.

Paste your code into a reply when you are done.
More challenges will come as we come up with more ideas through Skype.

something like this??

Code:

int number( int nth )
{
      if( nth<=1 )
      return nth;
      else
            return  number( nth - 1 ) + number( nth - 2 );
}

ofc to lazy to enter the user input but is that needed?

makes it easier on us. lol

Did we tell you we finished Pascal's triangle... ofc i ended up getting it first... he finally got the algorithm after I enhanced my function and allowed user to specify how many levels to calculate... the numbers were HUGE after going to 90 levels.... Lucky I'm on a x64... usigned longs :P

Oh and I have bragging rights now. LOL

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int nth=0;
    long long unsigned int first = 0, second =1, total = 0;
    cout<<"nth?"<<endl;
    cin>>nth;
    
    for(int i=1; i<nth; i++)
    {
           total=first + second;
           first=second;
           second = total;
    }
    
    cout<<total;
    system("pause");
    return 0;
}

good job. exactly how i did it. level one passed

Those are the kind of exercises i had on my exams... ._. such as prime numbers too(ex). On my C exams

wow ur good. prime numbers was one of the projects me void and user1 were working on yesterday afternoon

isn;t that difficult....

i'm not that good... but i must say i hate those exercises.. ;s maybe because of exams /

Code:

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int WhatTheFuck(int lolwat);

int main()
{
    while(1)
    {
        int gtfo;
        cout<<"Input: ";
        cin>>gtfo;
        cout<<"Output: "<<WhatTheFuck(gtfo)<<endl;
    }
    return 1;
}

int WhatTheFuck(int lolwat)
{
    if(lolwat<2) return 0;
    else return ((lolwat-1)+(lolwat-2));
}

can't be arsed to test

edit - alternitive:

Code:

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int WhatTheFuck(int lolwat);

int main()
{
    cout<<"That guys sequence goes: ";
    for(int i=0;i<100;i++)
    {
        cout<<WhatTheFuck(i);
        if((i%10)==9) cout<<endl;
        else cout<<", ";
    }
    return 1;
}

int WhatTheFuck(int lolwat)
{
    if(lolwat<2) return 0;
    else return ((lolwat-1)+(lolwat-2));
}
