Function Documentation

fib()

void fib	(	unsigned long	n,
		unsigned long *	C,
		unsigned long *	D
	)

Returns the \(n^{th}\) and \(n+1^{th}\) Fibonacci number. The return variables are C & D respectively.

{
    // Out of Range checking
    if (n < 0)
    {
        printf("\nNo Such term !\n");
        exit(0);
    }
 
    unsigned long a, b, c, d;
 
    if (n == 0)
    {
        C[0] = 0;
        if (D)
            D[0] = 1;
        return;
    }
 
    fib(n >> 1, &c, &d); /* Compute F(n/2) */
 
    a = c * ((d << 1) - c);
    b = c * c + d * d;
    if (n % 2 == 0) /* If n is even */
    {
        C[0] = a;
        if (D)
            D[0] = b;
        return;
    }
 
    /**< If n is odd */
    C[0] = b;
    if (D)
        D[0] = a + b;
    return;
}

main()

int main	(	int	argc,
		char *	argv[]
	)

main function

{
    unsigned long number, result;
 
    setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, "");  // format the printf output
 
    // Asks for the number/position of term in Fibonnacci sequence
    if (argc == 2)
        number = atoi(argv[1]);
    else
    {
        printf("Enter the value of n(n starts from 0 ): ");
        scanf("%lu", &number);
    }
 
    fib(number, &result, NULL);
 
    printf("The nth term is : %'lu \n", result);
 
    return 0;
}
