Calculating fibonacci series at compile-time


#include <stdio.h>

// The following code prints out the first five elements of the
// fibonacci series without calculating the values at runtime.

template <int param>
struct CFibonacci
{
    static const value;
};

template <int param>
const CFibonacci<param>::value = 
CFibonacci<param - 2>::value + CFibonacci<param - 1>::value;

const CFibonacci<0>::value = 0;
const CFibonacci<1>::value = 1;


void main( void )
{
    printf( "%d\n", CFibonacci<1>::value );
    printf( "%d\n", CFibonacci<2>::value );
    printf( "%d\n", CFibonacci<3>::value );
    printf( "%d\n", CFibonacci<4>::value );
    printf( "%d\n", CFibonacci<5>::value );
}

My early antics pre-internet.


It was 1985, and I was reading my favorite computer magazine, Antic and was floored to see my name mentioned in print.  I had forgotten, but apparently I wrote a "letter" to the magazine describing some programming trick.   I remember seeing the text, "Kudos to Kenny Ksajikian".

My English wasn't so good, so I had to look up "Kudos", which made the phrase stuck in my mind.   Decades later I google that term, and ouala --> Kudos' to Kenny Ksajikian.
