HP Prime and TI-84 Plus: Fibonacci Triangles (updated)

HP Prime and TI-84 Plus:  Fibonacci Triangles

This program is the request of John Cvetan.  I thank you for your suggestion.

Introduction

The program FIBMAT generates the Fibonacci Triangle in matrix form.  The Fibonacci triangle is a triangle generated where the outer entries of each row contain the Fibonacci sequence.  The Fibonacci sequence is generated by:

f_0 = 1
f_ 1 = 2
f_n = f_n-1 + f_n-2

You can quickly calculate the nth Fibonacci number by the formula:

f_n = ( (1 + √5)^n - (1 - √5)^n ) / (2^n * √5)

To generate the Fibonacci triangle,

1.  Let r the row and c be the column with

f_0,0 =  1
f_1,0 = 1
f_1,1 = 1
f_2,1 = 1

2.  Each row will be determined by adding the last two terms going diagonally.  You can use one of two formulas:

f_r,c = f_r-1,c + f_r-2,c

f_r,c = f_r-1,c-1 + f_r-1,c-2

The Program FIBMAT

FIBMAT generates a Fibonacci triangle in matrix form.  It's the result is a triangle that is "tilted".  n will need to be 3 or greater.

HP Prime Program FIBMAT

EXPORT FIBMAT(n)
BEGIN
// Fibonacci "triangle" in
// matrix form
// 2018-12-17 EWS
LOCAL M1,k;
M1:=MAKEMAT(0,n+1,n+1);
M1(1,1):=1;
M1(2,1):=1;
M1(2,2):=1;
FOR k FROM 3 TO n+1 DO
M1(k):=row(M1,k-1)+row(M1,k-2);
M1(k,k):=M1(k-1,k-1)+M1(k-2,k-2);
END;
RETURN M1;
END;

Here's an alternate code for Fibonacci Triangle Matrices.  The row command has been eliminated and I used a second For loop in its place.  (added 12/23/2018)

EXPORT FIBMATALT(n)
BEGIN
// 2018-12-23 EWS
// Fibonacci Matrix Alternate
// matrix form
// This version does not have the
// row function.
LOCAL M1,k,j;
M1:=MAKEMAT(0,n+1,n+1);
M1(1,1):=1;
M1(2,1):=1;
M1(2,2):=1;
FOR k FROM 3 TO n+1 DO
FOR j FROM 1 TO n DO
M1(k,j):=M1(k-2,j)+M1(k-1,j);
END;
M1(k,k):=M1(k-1,k-1)+M1(k-2,k-2);
END;
RETURN M1;
END;


TI-84 Plus Program FIBMAT

"2018-12-18 EWS"
"FIBONACCI MATRIX"
Input "ORDER: ",N
{N+1,N+1}→dim([A])
1→[A](1,1)
1→[A](2,1)
1→[A](2,2)
For(K,3,N+1)
For(J,1,N)
[A](K-2,J)+[A](K-1,J)→[A](K,J)
End
[A](K-1,K-1)+[A](K-2,K-2)→[A](K,K)
End
Pause [A]

The Program FIBTRI

This is a visual program for Fibonacci Triangle.

FIBTRI(n) generates a visual Fibonacci Triangle - although I don't recommend going beyond 12 rows due to the constraints of the screen.  I used the small font for the rows.

HP Prime Program FIBTRI

EXPORT FIBTRI(n)
BEGIN
// Fibonacci triangle
// 2018-12-17 EWS
LOCAL M1,k;
M1:=MAKEMAT(0,n+1,n+1);
M1(1,1):=1;
M1(2,1):=1;
M1(2,2):=1;
FOR k FROM 3 TO n+1 DO
M1(k):=row(M1,k-1)+row(M1,k-2);
M1(k,k):=M1(k-1,k-1)+M1(k-2,k-2);
END;

RECT();
LOCAL s;
FOR k FROM 1 TO n+1 DO
s:=STRING(SUB(row(M1,k),1,k));

IF k≤6 THEN
TEXTOUT_P(s,
140-5.5*(k-1),(k-1)*15,2);
END;

IF k>6 AND k≤11 THEN
TEXTOUT_P(s,
140-8*(k-1),(k-1)*15,2);
END;

IF k>11 THEN
TEXTOUT_P(s,
140-11.5*(k-1),(k-1)*15,2);
END;

END;
WAIT(0);
END;
