Can someone send me source code for a routine to calculate
Fibonacci numbers to _x_ (x being input from user)? Additionally it'd
be great if this found the PRIME numbers in the set. It could print its
results as it went through (if that makes it any easier).
Thanks..

This sounds a lot like a freshman-level programming assignment to me... Consider: o The definition of the Fibonacci sequence is usually no more than one step of translation away from a working algorithm. o Finding prime numbers may be a little harder, but not much. -- Dave Schaumann | We're so sorry, Uncle Albert.

Well, this program only prints the final answer, and doesn't find the primes, but you should be able to modify it to do those things. Usage: "a.out N" prints the Nth fibonacci number. Good luck! -- jd p.s.

I picked up the following nifty formula from somewhere for calculating any Fibonacci number in the sequence: #include <math.h> #define SQRT5 2.2360679775 main() { double x, fib; . . fib = (pow((1.0 + SQRT5) / 2.0, x) - pow((1.0 - SQRT5) / 2.0, x)) / SQRT5; } I'm afraid I can't help you on the prime number question. =^)

Given the proper argument it would reverse itself thereby becoming a sort program. Upon sorting the original program (which did differential equations as well) it would produce Fibonacci numbers.
