Python Fibonacci Generator

Question

I need to make a program that asks for the amount of Fibonacci numbers printed and then prints them like 0, 1, 1, 2... but I can\'t get it to work. My code looks the followi

Answer 1

Python is a dynamically typed language. the type of a variable is determined at runtime and it can vary as the execution is in progress. Here at first, you have declared a to hold an integer type and later you have assigned a function to it and so its type now became a function.

you are trying to apply 'a' as an argument to range() function which expects an int arg but you have in effect provided a function variable as argument.

the corrected code should be

 a = int(raw_input('Give amount: '))

def fib():
    a, b = 0, 1
    while 1:
        yield a
        a, b = b, a + b

b = fib()
b.next()

for i in range(a):
    print b.next(),

this will work

Answer 2

You are giving a too many meanings:

a = int(raw_input('Give amount: '))

vs.

a = fib()       

You won't run into the problem (as often) if you give your variables more descriptive names (3 different uses of the name a in 10 lines of code!):

amount = int(raw_input('Give amount: '))

and change range(a) to range(amount).

Answer 3

Simple way to print Fibonacci series till n number

def Fib(n):
    i=a=0
    b=1
    while i<n:
        print (a)
        i=i+1
        c=a+b
        a=b
        b=c




Fib(input("Please Enter the number to get fibonacci series of the Number :  "))

Answer 4

To get the fibonacci numbers till any number (100 in this case) with generator, you can do this.

def getFibonacci():
    a, b = 0, 1

    while True:
        yield b
        b = a + b
        a = b - a

for num in getFibonacci():
    if num > 100:
        break
    print(num)

Answer 5

Below are two solution for fiboncci generation:

def fib_generator(num):
    '''
    this will works as generator function and take yield into account.
    '''
    assert num > 0
    a, b = 1, 1
    while num > 0:
        yield a
        a, b = b, a+b
        num -= 1


times = int(input('Enter the number for fib generaton: '))
fib_gen = fib_generator(times)
while(times > 0):
    print(next(fib_gen))
    times = times - 1


def fib_series(num):
    '''
    it collects entires series and then print it.
    '''
    assert num > 0
    series = []
    a, b = 1, 1
    while num > 0:
        series.append(a)
        a, b = b, a+b
        num -= 1
    print(series)


times = int(input('Enter the number for fib generaton: '))
fib_series(times)
