FIBONACCI_NUMBERS
The C++ program featured in this tutorial web page computes the Nth term of the Fibonacci Sequence using recursion and using iteration. If N is a natural number which is larger than or equal to two, then fibonacci(N) is the sum of fibonacci(N – 2) and fibonacci(N – 1). If N is either zero or else one, then fibonacci(N) is one.

fibonacci(0) := 1. // The first term of the Fibonacci Sequence is 1. fibonacci(1) := 1. // The second term of the Fibonacci Sequence is 1. fibonacci(i) := fibonacci(i - 2) + fibonacci(i - 1). // i is a natural number which is larger than or equal to 2.

PROGRAM_COMPILATION_AND_EXECUTION
STEP_0: Copy and paste the C++ source code into a new text editor document and save that document as the following file name:
fibonacci_numbers.cpp
STEP_1: Open a Unix command line terminal application and set the current directory to wherever the C++ program file is located on the local machine (e.g. Desktop).
cd Desktop
STEP_2: Compile the C++ file into machine-executable instructions (i.e. object file) and then into an executable piece of software named app using the following command:
g++ fibonacci_numbers.cpp -o app
STEP_3: If the program compilation command does not work, then use the following commands (in top-down order) to install the C/C++ compiler (which is part of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC)):
sudo apt install build-essential
sudo apt-get install g++
STEP_4: After running the g++ command, run the executable file using the following command:
./app
STEP_5: Once the application is running, the following prompt will appear:
Enter a nonnegative integer which is no larger than 45:
STEP_6: Enter a value for N using the keyboard.
STEP_7: Observe program results on the command line terminal and in the output file.
PROGRAM_SOURCE_CODE
Note that the text inside of each of the the preformatted text boxes below appears on this web page (while rendered correctly by the web browser) to be identical to the content of that preformatted text box text’s respective plain-text file or source code output file (whose Uniform Resource Locator is displayed as the green hyperlink immediately above that preformatted text box (if that hyperlink points to a source code file) or whose Uniform Resource Locator is displayed as the orange hyperlink immediately above that preformatted text box (if that hyperlink points to a plain-text file)).
A computer interprets a C++ source code as a series of programmatic instructions (i.e. software) which govern how the hardware of that computer behaves).
(Note that angle brackets which resemble HTML tags (i.e. an “is less than” symbol (i.e. ‘<‘) followed by an “is greater than” symbol (i.e. ‘>’)) displayed on this web page have been replaced (at the source code level of this web page) with the Unicode symbols U+003C (which is rendered by the web browser as ‘<‘) and U+003E (which is rendered by the web browser as ‘>’). That is because the WordPress web page editor or web browser interprets a plain-text version of an “is less than” symbol followed by an “is greater than” symbol as being an opening HTML tag (which means that the WordPress web page editor or web browser deletes or fails to display those (plain-text) inequality symbols and the content between those (plain-text) inequality symbols)).

The number of times which the recursive Fibonacci Sequence term function was called during this program runtime instance is 177. -------------------------------- Computing the Nth term of the Fibonacci Sequence using iteration: fibonacci(0) = 1. // i = 0 fibonacci(1) = 1. // i = 1 fibonacci(2) = 2 = fibonacci(0) + fibonacci(1) = 1 + 1. // i = 2 fibonacci(3) = 3 = fibonacci(1) + fibonacci(2) = 1 + 2. // i = 3 fibonacci(4) = 5 = fibonacci(2) + fibonacci(3) = 2 + 3. // i = 4 fibonacci(5) = 8 = fibonacci(3) + fibonacci(4) = 3 + 5. // i = 5 fibonacci(6) = 13 = fibonacci(4) + fibonacci(5) = 5 + 8. // i = 6 fibonacci(7) = 21 = fibonacci(5) + fibonacci(6) = 8 + 13. // i = 7 fibonacci(8) = 34 = fibonacci(6) + fibonacci(7) = 13 + 21. // i = 8 fibonacci(9) = 55 = fibonacci(7) + fibonacci(8) = 21 + 34. // i = 9 fibonacci(10) = 89 = fibonacci(8) + fibonacci(9) = 34 + 55. // i = 10 B = fibonacci(10) = 89. -------------------------------- End Of Program --------------------------------
