Solution in perl Sajal Kayan 29th July, 2008 04:38 (UTC)

had done in c , basic in college n school to print the basic series,,, hv taken it a step further by adding 3 user inputs…

usage : ./fib.pl first-number second-number max-number

#!/usr/bin/perl
$a=$ARGV[0];
$b=$ARGV[1];
$c = $a + $b ;
print "$a $b ";
while ($c<$ARGV[2]) {
	print "$c ";
	$a = $b;
	$b = $c;
	$c = $a + $b ;
}

For some strange reason unless i put an additional linebreak after each line, everything was getting condensed into one line.

That's because of the [ ] operators in the solution — this is the same syntax as Mediawiki uses for hyperlinks so they get mistaken for that. If you put some whitespace inside them then everything should come out ok.
