CFLib.org – Common Function Library Project

Description:
This script Calculates the Fibonacci sequence (each integer is the sum of the two previous integers). Note that the function will also calculate the sequence for non-Fibonacci numbers.

Return Values:
Returns a comma-delimited list of numeric values.

Example:

<cfoutput>
#fibcalc(0,1,200)#<BR>
#fibcalc(1,1,200)#
</cfoutput>

Parameters:

 * @param x      First number in the Fibonacci sequence. (Required)
 * @param y      Second number in the Fibonacci sequence. (Required)
 * @param top      Ceiling for the Fibonacci number.  The sequence will terminate when this value is reached. (Required)
 * @return Returns a comma-delimited list of numeric values.
