LAB MANUAL
Experiment/Program 2
To accept from user the number of Fibonacci numbers to be generated and print the
Fibonacci series.

Objective:

To write a C program that accepts a number from the user, indicating how many Fibonacci num-
bers to generate, and then prints the Fibonacci series. The program will be written without using
functions.

Theory:

The Fibonacci series is a sequence of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preced-
ing ones, starting from 0 and 1. The sequence typically looks like this: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13,
21, ...

In mathematical terms:

 Fibonacci(0) = 0
 Fibonacci(1) = 1
 Fibonacci(n) = Fibonacci(n-1) + Fibonacci(n-2) for n > 1

Steps Involved:

1. Initialize Variables:
o Start by initializing the first two Fibonacci numbers, which are usually 0 and 1.
o Define a loop control variable to track the number of Fibonacci numbers gener-
ated.
2. Accept User Input:

oPrompt the user to enter the number of Fibonacci numbers to be generated.


oStore this value in an integer variable.
3. Generate Fibonacci Series:

oUse a loop to generate the Fibonacci series.


oIn each iteration, compute the next Fibonacci number by summing the last two
numbers.
o Update the values of the two preceding numbers for the next iteration.
o Print the Fibonacci number in each loop iteration.
4. Terminate the Program:

o End the loop after the required number of Fibonacci numbers is generated.
o Print a message indicating the end of the series.

C Program:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
int n, i;
int first = 0, second = 1, next;

// Step 1: Accept user input


printf("Enter the number of Fibonacci numbers to generate: ");
scanf("%d", &n);

// Step 2: Handle special cases for n <= 0


if (n <= 0) {
printf("Please enter a positive integer.\n");
return 1;
}

// Step 3: Print the Fibonacci series


printf("Fibonacci Series: ");

for (i = 1; i <= n; i++) {


if (i == 1) {
printf("%d ", first);
continue;
}
if (i == 2) {
printf("%d ", second);
continue;
}
next = first + second;
first = second;
second = next;
printf("%d ", next);
}

printf("\n"); // New line at the end


return 0;

}

Explanation of the Program:

1. Initialization:
o first is initialized to 0, representing the first Fibonacci number.
o second is initialized to 1, representing the second Fibonacci number.
o next is used to store the next Fibonacci number in the series.
2. User Input:

o The user is prompted to enter the number of Fibonacci numbers to generate. This
value is stored in the variable n.
3. Generating the Series:

o The program uses a for loop that runs n times to generate the Fibonacci series.
o The first two numbers (0 and 1) are printed directly.
o The next Fibonacci number is calculated by adding first and second.
o The values of first and second are then updated to continue the series.
4. Output:

o The Fibonacci series is printed on the console.


o A newline character (\n) is printed at the end to ensure the output is cleanly
formatted.

Observations:
 The program correctly generates and prints the first n numbers in the Fibonacci series
based on the user’s input.
 If the user enters a non-positive integer, the program prompts them to enter a valid num-
ber.

Conclusion:

This experiment demonstrates how to accept user input, use loops to generate a sequence, and
manage variables in a C program without using functions. The Fibonacci series is a classic exam-
ple of using loops and arithmetic operations in programming.
