Basic Fractal Numbers

[fournicknet]

The following is code that I created to create my fractal nubmers, sharing it with the community if it will help. I can get it to go up to 91 iterations with out breaking because of the 64 bit limitation. I’m sure there is another way to get above 91 iterations and if you do I would encourage you to respond to this post if you feel inclined to do so.

internal class Program
    {
        static private long firstNumber, secondNumber, result;
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            firstNumber = 0;
            secondNumber = 1;
            result = 0;

            for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
            {
                result = firstNumber + secondNumber;
                Console.WriteLine("Level " + i + " is " + result);
                secondNumber = firstNumber;
                firstNumber = result;
            }
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
}

This is a variant of the Fibonacci sequence. Except it’s slightly different because you set the secondNumber = firstNumber instead of secondNumber = result, which just delays the sequence by 1 (the first iteration swaps firstNumber and secondNumber.

…yeah…

A very nice array of results

Around 46 peaked my interest.

i transcribed it for unity users.

    public List<string> SOLE = new List<string>();
    private void Start()
    {
        var firstNumber = 0;
        var secondNumber = 1;
        var result = 0;

        for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
        {
            result = firstNumber + secondNumber;
            SOLE.Add("Level " + i + " is " + result);
            secondNumber = firstNumber;
            firstNumber = result;
        }
    }

Quite the anomaly you have there.

I took it for granted that it worked after line 20, good catch.

Why? You just ran out the values possible in a System.Int32

OP called out that they’re using System.Int64

Is any of this relevant to Unity3D?

It is if you are using it for GameDevelopment, like a leveling system
