A lighthearted look at the Fibonacci Sequence, styled with some quick and dirty CSS. Looks OK maximized in Firefox - disliking IE more and more every day.

This is my rendering of the fibonacci sequence. I must admit that i had done this previously using javascript (when I was an undergrad, 4+yrs ago) and I would not let myself 'cheat' by researching other web sites. After sketching out the functionality and few tries I was able to get it, but I did have some difficulty with the formatting, for whatever reason, I could not get the '\n' to work, instead, i decided to echo a
tag.

Hmmm... close enough. 0 1 1 2 3 5 etc.

My Fibonacci code

Dude! And after we talked about that common error, too! But as with the others, I'll count it as "close enough for gov. work." Note to everyone: the Fibonacci series *starts* 0 1 1 2 3 5 ... Less than half of yours do :/.

The Fibonacci Sequence is a mathematical series of numbers where each number is the sum of the two numbers before it. The website I bookmarked was created using a combination of html and php.

Finally! The mistake I was making was silly, and I was so annoyed at myself when I realized what it was. Here in all of its purple glory (it's my favorite color, so prepare to see lots of it this semester), I present to you my Fibonacci sequence.

I think I'm finally starting to understand php. It's not the easiest language, thats for sure! (or is it!?) With that said, here is my Fibonacci Sequence up to 500. I looked a variety of different codes online, but didn't use just one. After looking at a whole bunch I realized there are quite a few ways to write this code. Which in my mind, only compicated matters more...

Yes! It's true of most programming tasks: there are many ways to accomplish the same thing. In some ways it does complicate things, but it's also (though it may not feel like it now) makes it fun! It's especially good when you find a "good hack"--a shortcut that makes your code better, faster, shorter, and more simple. Congrats on this one, it's a hard program to puzzle out.

Question asked on movie timeline around 17 minute mark...

This method of drawing out the program steps is one of the best solutions for creating a program. My flow charts are usually not this complicated, but I have found them to be very helpful in creating the solution. It helps determine the switched ans loops required to complete the task - I typically will detail what type of loop i need between steps (where the arrows go). Doing one of these charts actually helped me solve the Fibonacci challenge

At 02:45 I point out something that perhaps doesn't fall under the category of worthwhile to our lesson, but whatever -- Rosie the Robot (of 'Jetsons' fame) would never need instructions on how to make a PB&J sandwich. She would make it with love, too. Also, she could not make 50,000 because she'd get tired.

Yay! Although the code doesn't look right when I view source? Is this ok?

Well, it's a good start, but you need to have it run the first 500 numbers, not up to 500 :). So, it's running about 480 short right now. As far as the code goes, just make use of a basic template, except for the PHP bit of it in the middle.
