[Exit 75]

I would suggest to insert the following line as first line of the function.

If $iIterations < 0 Or $iIterations > 92 Then Exit MsgBox(262144, "_Fibonacci Func", "Iteration value '" & $iIterations & "' out of bounds (0 to 92)", 0)

True, though as you know functions should simply return, not Exit or invoke a MsgBox of some description.

[trancexx 915]

Well, you can always do something like this:

$iSecond = ($iIterations > 92) ? 1.0 : 1

...and then calculate _Fibonacci(1476)

[spudw2k 167]

$iSecond = ($iIterations > 92) ? 1.0 : 1

Can you please explain your statement ^

What's with the ? 1.0 : 1

[BrewManNH 1,083]

It's the new ternary notation in the beta version.

[guinness 1,458]

A replacement of _Iif in Misc.au3, thank goodness.

[UEZ 1,077]

I think the line must be

$iSecond = ($iIterations > 92) ? 1.0 * $iSum : 1 * $iSum

to work properly (on alpha version).

It switches from integer to floating point.

ConsoleWrite(_Fibonacci(1000) & @LF)

Floating point can handle 64bit numbers...

I have to say this example by UEZ is really neat. Ah UEZ is here:

I like both examples.

See first post.

[UEZ 1,077]

@guinness: the code in post#8 is also working with current release (3.3.8.1).

Here some more variants:

I will update the initial version too and add your handle.

Actually no. More correct is to do it just the way I said - when declaring. You don't want unnecessary evaluations and mathematical operations inside the loop. Edited January 3, 2013 by trancexx

Updated first post.

[UEZ 1,077]

Yep, you are right again.

@guinness: maybe you can add also the recursive variant to your 1st post to complete iterative and recursive variants.

$n = 1000

ConsoleWrite(Fibonacci_r2($n) & @CRLF)

Func Fibonacci_r2($f)
    If $f < 2 Then Return $f
    If $f > 1476 Then Return 0
    Return Fibonacci_r2_(1, 1, $f)
EndFunc

Func Fibonacci_r2_($f1, $f2, $fn)
    If $fn < 3 Then Return $f2
    Return Fibonacci_r2_($f2, $f1 * 1.0 + $f2 * 1.0, $fn - 1)
EndFunc

As far as I can remember the code above was written by AspirinJunkie but I'm not sure...

Nice work guinness!

Here's my version

Func _Fibonacci($iIterations)
Return (5 ^ -0.5) * ((((1 + (5 ^ 0.5)) / 2) ^ $iIterations) - (((1 - (5 ^ 0.5)) / 2) ^ $iIterations))
EndFunc

Edited January 4, 2013 by n1maS

[guinness 1,458]

Updated the function by removing the exclusive check for whether $iIterations is an integer and instead just cast as an Int.
