Difference Between a Mathematician and a Programmer

Name: Anonymous 2018-10-02 23:34

Mathematician:
fib(n) = ((1/2+sqrt(5)/2)^n - (1/2-sqrt(5)/2)^n)/sqrt(5)

Programmer:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int n, t1 = 0, t2 = 1, nextTerm = 0;

cout << "Enter the number of terms: ";
cin >> n;

cout << "Fibonacci Series: ";

for (int i = 1; i <= n; ++i)
{
// Prints the first two terms.
if(i == 1)
{
cout << " " << t1;
continue;
}
if(i == 2)
{
cout << t2 << " ";
continue;
}
nextTerm = t1 + t2;
t1 = t2;
t2 = nextTerm;

cout << nextTerm << " ";
}
return 0;
}

Its neither code golf nor "non-trivial"
Its just 2 lines of code. I have word-wrap in my editor it looks fine.
I've run it through C beautifier and there isn't much change.
#include < stdio.h >
#include < stdlib.h >
#include < math.h > //compile with -O3 fib.c -lm
long double fib(long double n) {
return (powl((1.0 / 2.0 + sqrtl(5.0) / 2.0), n) - powl((1.0 / 2.0 - sqrtl(5.0) / 2.0), n)) / sqrtl(5.0);
}
int main(int argc, char ** argv) {
if (argc == 2) {
printf("%LG", fib((long double) strtoull(argv[1], NULL, 10)));
}
}
