Output Array, how to assign values from a function

17 views (last 30 days)
I'm new to coding so just assume I know next to nothing. I've created my code for an assignment and have what I want, I don't don't understand how to manipulate it. Here's the code:
function [f] = fibanotchy
f=zeros(100,2,'uint64');
format long g
f(1)=1
f(2)=1
for k=3:100
f(k)=f(k-2)+ f(k-1);
colNames = {'F','n'};
sTable = array2table(f,'VariableNames',colNames)
It's the output from running the function I don't understand. It loops through the index k and displays every iteration. I thought ; suppressed that? Second, I've allocated the f array for the 100 values and a second row. I want to change those zeros to each iteration of the function (which is n, or nth number in the sequence). I can't do it. I've tried to define n=1:100 and put it in the array and can't. It seems simple but nothing I've tried works. I'm not sure how to access the second column of the matrix and get what I want in there. Or maybe I'm looking at it wrong. I've looked at Tables and maybe that's how to code it, but I'm not sure.

I don't understand. The code seems incomplete.

sorry jonas, i didn't put it in the code box. I've fixed it now so it's easier to read.

fibanotchy
function [f] = fibanotchy
f=zeros(100,2,'uint64');
format long g
f(1)=1
f(2)=1
n=input('nth term ? ')
for k=3:n
f(k,1)=f(k-2)+ f(k-1);
f(k,2) = k;
end
f(1,2) =1;
f(2,2)=2;
end

Exactly you are getting the idea . And I defined f(1,2) as 1 and f(2,2) as 2 because the loop starts from 3 .

Ok. So if I wanted a 3rd column I'd allocate 3 instead of 2. Then define a variable and assign it f(var,k)=var
I would like to add a header. In my mind I have two options; set the first row to two strings 'Fibonacci' and 'N', then shift the rows all down, or put a title on the Column itself. The first seems like a bad habit to get into, but the second seems to be really complicated.
