BEHOLD MY GREATNESS! (first complicated c++ program)

[NoQuarter]

So, are you gonna compile it for the psp?

I have been taking a c++ class for about 2 weeks. Ive done some silly little things using the standard cpp libraries but nothing really complexed.

Anyone whos taken a programming class will probably be familiar with this one. It is the Fibonacci program where you determine the nth number of the sequence. Mine has a slight twist however. The book wants me to use the sequence to determine how asexual things reproduce. In other words... basically you just multiply the initial value by the "final sum" which is actually just the place in the fibonacci sequence you determined.

BEHOLD MY CODE!
---------------------------

//Greatest program in the world.
//By: Alan Gardner

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int count;
// long long is HUGE! alast and blast are initialized.
long long alast, blast, sum, n;
int totamnt;
alast = 0;
blast = 1;
// Determines place in the sequence.
cout << "Enter time: ";
cin >> n;
cout << "\n";
// Determines inital amount (what to multiply final sum by).
cout << "Enter total amount: ";
cin >> totamnt;
cout << "\n";
switch (n)
{
// Catches 0 before it outputs a negative number.
case 0: cout << "0"; break;
// Catches 1 before it outputs 0.
case 1: cout << 1 * totamnt; break;
default:
// Determines place in the sequence.
for (count= 0; count < n-1; count++)
{
// "Rolls" numbers around to make the sequece work.
sum = alast + blast;
alast = blast;
blast = sum;
};
// Outputs the place in the sequence multiplied by the initial ammount.
cout << "\n" << sum * totamnt << " is the total amount."; break;
}
return 0;
}

Since there are no extra libraries, you should be able to just compile right away.

Sweet

It sure took you long enough we where talking about this stuff almost a year ago 1x Still your doing great, Ive all But given up codeing

look at me being a $#@!!

So do you say that about all the homebrew coded in c++? The games? Your operating system? This a beginning step for me and I'm quite proud of it. If you dont have anything valuable to add (such as praise for my greatness) or any advice than please... dont comment.

somehow i dont think anyone will be interested in finding a value in the Fibonacci sequence on the go.

I learned visual basic last year which was fairly simple. This is my first experience with a REAL programming language.

Lol,I meant compile it for the psp for yourself as an exercise or fun.Didn't really mean for anybody else but you

I was certain I was talking to you about c++ back then.

I must be getting old my mind is sliping.

Either way congrats on your first real deal!
Why for do you give up on programming shadowprophet?

Well it wasnt really like giving up, at first it was kinda like a challenge to me.
But once I began to understand it. And comprehend how it works, It was kind of like I solved the puzzle, And I kinda moved on after that

I can't resist a challenge

[NoQuarter]

Right on,honestly I can understand that sentiment.Personally I'm just a bit OCD once I start,only prob with programming is that I haven't really started.I'm such a procrastinator(1 year's worth).

I think I'm gonna bear down and really learn some stuff on this cycle though.

There is a lot more to c++ than just the standard libraries. There is plenty of challenge left for you.
