Detailed Description

This Programme returns the Nth fibonacci as a string.

The method used is manual addition with carry and placing it in a string which is called string addition This makes it have no bounds or limits

Function Documentation

add()

std::string add	(	std::string	a,
		std::string	b
	)

function to add two string numbers

Parameters

[in]	a	first number in string to add
[in]	b	second number in string to add

Returns

sum as a std::string

                                        {
    std::string temp = "";
 
    // carry flag
    int carry = 0;
 
    // fills up with zeros
    while (a.length() < b.length()) {
        a = "0" + a;
    }
 
    // fills up with zeros
    while (b.length() < a.length()) {
        b = "0" + b;
    }
 
    // adds the numbers a and b
    for (int i = a.length() - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
        char val = static_cast<char>(((a[i] - 48) + (b[i] - 48)) + 48 + carry);
        if (val > 57) {
            carry = 1;
            val -= 10;
        } else {
            carry = 0;
        }
        temp = val + temp;
    }
 
    // processes the carry flag
    if (carry == 1) {
        temp = "1" + temp;
    }
 
    // removes leading zeros.
    while (temp[0] == '0' && temp.length() > 1) {
        temp = temp.substr(1);
    }
 
    return temp;
}
