Minimum count of numbers in the Fibonacci number

Minimum count of numbers in the Fibonacci number

Question:

To find the minimum count of numbers in the Fibonacci series and their sum is equal to the number n.

Fibonacci Series

            The Fibonacci sequence is a set of numbers that starts with a one or a zero, followed by a one, and proceeds based on the rule that each number is equal to the sum of the preceding two numbers. If the Fibonacci sequence is denoted F (n), where n is the first term in the sequence, the following equation obtains for n = 0, where the first two terms are defined as 0 and 1 by convention:

F (0) = 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34 …

In some texts, it is customary to use n = 1. In that case, the first two terms are defined as 1 and 1 by default, and therefore:

        F (1) = 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34 …

Logic:

  • Generate the Fibonacci series to find the count.
  • Pass the series and n to the function.
  • Find the nearest smaller Fibonacci no to n and increment the count.
  • Then subtract the nearest number with n and assign value to n.
  • And Recursively repeat the process until n becomes zero.

Program:

[code lang=”c”]
#include<stdio.h>
int sum(int a[],int n)
{
static int c=0; //minimum no of count to reach the number n
int i;
for(i=0;i<30;i++)
{
if(a[i]>n)
{
printf("%d ",a[i-1]);
n=n-a[i-1]; //a[i-1] is the nearest smaller number to n
c++; //increment the count
break;
}
}
if(n==0) //return the count when number is zero
return c;
else
sum(a,n); //call the function recursively
}
void main()
{
int a[100],i,count=0,n;
printf("Enter the number:");
scanf("%d",&n);
a[0]=0,a[1]=1;
for(i=2;i<30;i++) //generates the Fibonacci series
{
a[i]=a[i-1]+a[i-2];
}
count=sum(a,n); //Pass the value and array to find the minimum count
printf("Count: %d",count);
}
[/code]
