Fibonacci n-step number sequences

This page is the answer to the task Fibonacci n-step number sequences in the Rosetta Code.

Description (from Rosetta Code)

These number series are an expansion of the ordinary Fibonacci sequence where: For we have the Fibonacci sequence; with initial values and For we have the tribonacci sequence; with initial values and For we have the tetranacci sequence; with initial values and ... For general we have the Fibonacci -step sequence - ; with initial values of the first values of the 'th Fibonacci -step sequence ; and 'th value of this 'th sequence being For small values of , Greek numeric prefixes are sometimes used to individually name each series.

Allied sequences can be generated where the initial values are changed: The Lucas series sums the two preceding values like the fibonacci series for but uses as its initial values. Task Write a function to generate Fibonacci -step number sequences given its initial values and assuming the number of initial values determines how many previous values are summed to make the next number of the series. Use this to print and show here at least the first ten members of the Fibo/tribo/tetra-nacci and Lucas sequences.

Solution

Main function

According to the requirements, the program must generate a series, and the order (Fibonacci, Tribonacci, etc) should be determined according with the initial values.

In this case, the number n indicates how many terms of the series will be generated.

The following generates a Fibonacci series of 20 terms:

The following generates a Lucas series of 20 terms:

The following generates a Tribonacci series of 20 terms:

Generating initial values

The initial values can be generated by the following function.

Note that it is a recursive function, and it calls the previously defined function. It requires the initial values as a seed, for Fibonacci style (Fibonacci, Tribonacci, etc), and for Lucas style.

The following generates the initial values for Fibonacci.

The following generates the initial values for Lucas.

Generating tables of series for Fibonacci and Lucas

This generates a tables of series for Fibonacci (25 terms), for orders 2 to 20 (Fibonacci, Tribonacci, etc.)

This generates a tables of series for Lucas (25 terms), for orders 2 to 20
