There's an intriguing bit of matrix math involved, so I learned something while implementing it. +Since [I'm looking for a job](http://reginald.braythwayt.com/RegBraithwaiteGH0909_en_US.pdf "Reginald Braithwaite's Resume") and people often like to ask for a [fizzbuzz](http://weblog.raganwald.com/2007/01/dont-overthink-fizzbuzz.html "Don't Overthink FizzBuzz") program to weed out the folks who can't string together a few lines of code, I thought I'd write up a program to compute the nth Fibonacci number. There's an intriguing bit of matrix math involved, so I learned something while implementing it. Recently I was having lunch with [some of Toronto's most interesting Ruby developers](http://unspace.ca), and the subject of interview questions came up. Specifically, writing a program to compute the nth Fibonacci number. Unsurprisingly, we agreed it might be useful as a screener for weeding out the people who were completely delusional about their prospects as a professional programmer. You know, the type of person who stares blankly at the screen and has no idea where to start, even when told that all we wanted was a program that correctly prints an answer. No tests, no specs, no shouldas, no passengers, no CSS, just prove you actually can write something, anything. @@ -198,4 +198,4 @@ Christoph Temmel [forked homoiconic](http://github.com/kar8nga/homoiconic/tree " Subscribe to [new posts and daily links](http://feeds.feedburner.com/raganwald "raganwald's rss feed"): <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/raganwald"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~fc/raganwald?bg=&amp;fg=&amp;anim=" height="26" width="88" style="border:0" alt="" align="top"/></a> -Reg Braithwaite: [Home Page](http://reginald.braythwayt.com), [CV](http://reginald.braythwayt.com/RegBraithwaiteGH0109_en_US.pdf ""), [Twitter](http://twitter.com/raganwald) +Reg Braithwaite: [Home Page](http://reginald.braythwayt.com), [CV](http://reginald.braythwayt.com/RegBraithwaiteGH0909_en_US.pdf ""), [Twitter](http://twitter.com/raganwald) 2008-12-12/fibonacci.md @@ -31,4 +31,4 @@ p.s.
