in thread Read file text and find fibonacci series

Hi, haukex.

while (/(?=($re))./g) { ... }

"Look for a fib anywhere ahead, then if found, consume its leftmost digit, then repeat" probably makes no sense, even for this assignment/homework. The %fib was built but not actually used. The "3 element" part of assignment (not addressed in your code) could be either consecutive, or just ascending fibs. But, the way %fib was constructed, it may be to help looking for a fib whose initial digits are a fib too, whose initial digits, ..., etc. While leftmost digit of any 2-digit fib is a fib, -- I wonder if any value of %fib could be an array with more than 3 elements? :)

P.S. Please, I'm not appealing to rewrite anything, don't waste your time, the task is too much unclear.

P.P.S. And, I suspect the "PERFECT SQUARE" in OP, in C, won't work for 6-digit numbers and int type, because of overflow?

    Well not quite, it is used for what you said:

    to help looking for a fib whose initial digits are a fib too

    This is what I was using it for, since I didn't feel like getting too fancy with the regex. The code I wrote was mostly just an implementation of my interpretation of the description the OP gave:

    "Check 4 is fibonacci number , no , go ahaed 49 is fibonacci number , no, next 496 is fibonacci ,no, 4969 after 44693 [sic] ,after 496934 no.There isnt any fibonacci , go to next digit and do it again 9 , 96,969,9693,96934."
    I wonder if any value of %fib could be an array with more than 3 elements?

    Good question, I didn't try cranking up $DIGITS past 60 yet...

    the task is too much unclear

    Agreed, which is why I just implemented the part I (thought I) understood ;-)
