Re: Fibonacci golf with one state variable

Just one state variable? Re: Fibo Golf challenge on 3 monkeys has such an example:

ruby '-wep 1,x=1;18.times{p x=(x/0.618).round}'

It's not much longer than yours especially if you count that the second one needs a -l switch and fancy quoting to quote the apostrophes and double quotes.

Except is that exactly the Fibonaci question, using an approximation golden ratio? I'll have to check on that...	[reply]

That's why it only prints the first few terms, with `18` hard-coded it. If you used the golden ratio more precisely, you'd get more terms. Two examples are the first snippet in Re: Fibonacci Numbers or the last one in Re: Fibonacci numbers (again). (By the way, if you want to know about the mathematics of this, I recommend Graham–Knuth–Patashnik: Concrete mathematics.)	[reply] [d/l]
