Generate fibonacci numbers in Matlab whose values are less than the given number n using functions

Problem: Generate Fibonacci numbers whose values are less than the given number n. Use the function name 'fibon'. For example fibon(10) should give output as 1 2 3 5 8


Solution: In this function we will generate the fibonacci numbers first by taking the basic numbers in the fibonacci numbers a, b as 0,1 respectively. we will add them to generate the fibonacci numbers using the loop. while we will use the loop the condition is that the value of the sum(generated Fibonacci number) is less than the given number n. But it can be found that for the last iteration the value of the fibonacci number will be less than the given number n and thus the loop goes on and a fibonacci number is generated which is greater than the given number n. Thus finally we will trim off the last number from our vector. You can understand this easily by seeing the program.

Program is as follows:



function fib = fibon(n)
%this function generates fibonacci numbers
%whose values are less than the given number n
%For example the fibon(10) = 1 2 3 5 8

%Create the starting number for the fibonacci sequence
a = 0;
%Basic number#2
b = 1;
%Create an empty vector fib to store the values of the fibonacci numbers
%generated
fib = [];
%Variable to get the fibonacci number after adding a+b
sum = 0;
%while loop to check whether the number is less than the given number n
while sum<n
    sum = a+b;
    fib = [fib sum];
    a = b;
    b = sum;
end

%As we have used while loop we get an additional number greater than the 
%number n and thus we will eliminate the last number to get the desired
%output.
fib = fib(1:length(fib)-1);

Making a quiz web app with python and flask

Edit : When you are creating a web app with h tml templates, then y ou will have to sa ve the html file in templates folder in the Current Wor ki ng Directory( CWD). If you save the file in the C W D directl y you will get a TemplateNotFound error. Thank you Udhay for pointing it out.   In this post we will create a quiz website using python . I will be using the flask framework . After reading this tutorial you will learn form submission , flask templates , python code in flask templates , shuffling the questions and options with the random module and few others.  Please note that this tutorial is not big as it seems to be. Some of the code has been rewritten to maintain consistency and also font size is somewhat big so that your eyes won't get stressed reading this tutorial. Also the content has not occupied the full width of the page. In this tutorial I am assuming that you are having a very basic understanding of the flask framework . Please refer the documentation

Problem 60 Project Euler Solution with python

Prime pair sets The primes 3, 7, 109, and 673, are quite remarkable. By taking any two primes and concatenating them in any order the result will always be prime. For example, taking 7 and 109, both 7109 and 1097 are prime. The sum of these four primes, 792, represents the lowest sum for a set of four primes with this property. Find the lowest sum for a set of five primes for which any two primes concatenate to produce another prime. This problem is j u st a brute force problem. If you have come here because you don't know the limit upto which you will h ave to gener ate the prime numbers t hen go ahe ad and t r y with 10,000 . When I first start ed solving the problem I chose 1 million(beca use most of the problem s on project E uler have this limit ), but it took very long for the computer to fin d the solution. After searching on the internet then I found many people choosing 10, 000 so I have changed my in put f rom 1 million to 10000 and the output was f ast. He
