POHow to write the Fibonacci Sequence?
text
Body
copied!<p>I had originally coded the program wrongly. Instead of returning the Fibonacci numbers between a range (ie. startNumber 1, endNumber 20 should = only those numbers between 1 & 20), I have written for the program to display all Fibonacci numbers between a range (ie. startNumber 1, endNumber 20 displays = First 20 Fibonacci numbers). I thought I had a sure-fire code. I also do not see why this is happening.</p> <pre><code>startNumber = int(raw_input("Enter the start number here ")) endNumber = int(raw_input("Enter the end number here ")) def fib(n): if n < 2: return n return fib(n-2) + fib(n-1) print map(fib, range(startNumber, endNumber)) </code></pre> <p>Someone pointed out in my Part II (which was closed for being a duplicate - <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/504193/how-to-write-the-fibonacci-sequence-in-python-part-ii">https://stackoverflow.com/questions/504193/how-to-write-the-fibonacci-sequence-in-python-part-ii</a>) that I need to pass the startNumber and endNumber through a generator using a while loop. Can someone please point me in the direction on how to do this? Any help is welcome.</p> <hr> <p>I'm a learning programmer and I've run into a bit of a jumble. I am asked to write a program that will compute and display Fibonacci's Sequence by a user inputted start number and end number (ie. startNumber = 20 endNumber = 100 and it will display only the numbers between that range). The trick is to use it inclusively (which I do not know how to do in Python? - I'm assuming this means to use an inclusive range?).</p> <p>What I have so far is no actual coding but rather:</p> <ul> <li>Write Fib sequence formula to infinite</li> <li>Display startNumber to endNumber only from Fib sequence.</li> </ul> <p>I have no idea where to start and I am asking for ideas or insight into how to write this. I also have tried to write the Fib sequence forumla but I get lost on that as well.</p>
