SYNOPSIS
use Math::Fibonacci qw(term series decompose); my $term = term ( 42 ); my @series = series ( 42 ); my @sum = decompose ( 65535 );
DESCRIPTION
This module provides a few functions related to Fibonacci numbers.
EXPORTS ON REQUEST
term(), series() decompose(), isfibonacci()
FUNCTIONS
term($n) Returns the $n-th term of the Fibonacci sequence. The term is computed using the fast algorithm: "F(n) ~ g^n/sqrt(5)", where g is the golden ratio and ~ means "take the nearest integer". series($n) Computes and returns the first $n Fibonacci numbers. decompose($int) Decomposes $int into the sum of Fibonacci numbers. Returns the list of Fibonacci numbers. isfibonacci($int) Returns the sequence number of $int if it is a Fibonacci number or a non-true value if it is not.
