Not only this, we even had java program to check whether given number is armstrong or not (153 for example).
I wonder why should we learn them. I dint use any of them till now. Can anyone please tell me what is it real purpose.
Thank you, good day.
Okay, thank you. But what is the use of Fibonacci series in real life?Jesper de Jong wrote:It's not because the Fibonacci series is useful in everyday life as a business software developer, but because it's an interesting mathematical thing and something simple which you can use to learn what recursion is (it's often used as an exercise to learn to write a recursive program).

Did you click on that link in Jesper's post ?
Yeah I read that link. It speaks about the histroy of fibonacci series, its occurrences in nature and some mathematical things. However I am not a mathematical expert and could not understand it. I want to know the applications of fibonacci series in computer applications.Joanne Neal wrote:

because they ask about it it in a fresher's interview.

We use "powers of two" for estimating time on story cards: a 1-hour card, 2-hour, 4-hour, 8-hour, etc. At a meeting with some business analysts on the topic of whether they wanted us to record actual time spent in addition to estimates, one of the BSAs asked, "Well if you record actuals, are you going to stick to those numbers you use for estimating -- what are they? Fibonacci numbers?" So the joke became that we would continue to estimate in powers of two, but record actuals with Fibonacci numbers. In the end it they decided not to have us record actuals, so the point became moot. But we still make the occasional joke about the 5- or 13- hour story card. Or when struggling to make an estimate, pick some value between the powers of two we're debating between and wonder loudly if it's a Fibonacci number and whether we should switch to the Fibonacci series for estimating.
