FIBonacci sequence

Question

For this code golf, you will receive an input of a fibonacci sequence, that is, a normal Fibonacci sequence but with one number incorrect. _{See, the sequence is fibbing! Get it? :D}

Your job is to find out which number is incorrect, and print the index (0-based) of that number.

For example:

Input : 1 1 2 9 5 8 13
Output: 3

Input : 8 13 21 34 55 80
Output: 5

Input : 2 3 5 5 13 21
Output: 3

Specifications:

• The sequence may start at any number.
• The first two numbers of the input will always be correct.
• Shortest code (character count) wins.

The key to keeping this short is ? (find).

Answer 4

APL (19)

1+1⍳⍨(1↓1⌽k)≠2+/k←⎕

Explanation:

• k←⎕: store user input in k
• 2+/k: sum each pair of elements in k (i.e. 1 1 2 3 -> 1+1 1+2 2+3 -> 2 3 5)
• 1↓1⌽k: rotate k to the right by 1 and then drop the first element (i.e. 1 1 2 3 -> 2 3 1)
• ≠: find the place where these lists are not equal
• 1⍳⍨: find the location of the first 1 in this list (location of the incorrect number)
• 1+: add 1 to compensate for the dropped element

Answer 6

dc, 36 32

?zszsasb[lalbdsa+dsb=x]dsxxlzz-p

dc is a reverse-Polish calculator, so obviously you need to input the numbers in reverse order ;)

$ dc fib.dc <<< "999 13 8 5 3 2 1 1"
7
$ dc fib.dc <<< "999 1 1"

Javascript (69 68 61 60 55)

for(s=prompt(i=2).split(' ');s[i]-s[i-1]==s[i-2];i++);i

(60)

s=prompt(i=2).split(' ');for(;s[i]==+s[i-1]+ +s[i++-2];);--i

---

(61)

s=prompt(i=1).split(' ');for(k=+s[1];k+=+s[i-1],k==s[++i];);i

(68)

s=prompt(i=1).split(' ');for(k=+s[1];k+=+s[i-1],k==s[++i];);alert(i)

Answer 9

Ruby, 66

My first attempt at an (somewhat) complicated Ruby program:

p gets.split.map(&:to_i).each_cons(3).find_index{|a,b,c|a+b!=c}+2

Answer 10

Awk: 55

{for(i=3;i<=NF;i++)if($i+$(i-1)!=$(i+1)){print i;exit}}

Answer 11

Python, 74

a=map(int,raw_input().split())
i=2
while a[i-2]+a[i-1]==a[i]:i+=1
print i

I had this solution first, but Doorknob answered the question about the format of input right before I had time to post it:

Python, 66

a,b=input(),input()
i=2
while input()==a+b:a,b=b,a+b;i+=1
print i

Assumes newline separated input.

Thanks to Stewie Griffin for saving a byte! (- instread of ~=)

@(x)find(diff(x(2:end))-x(1:end-2),1)+1

This is an anonymous function that inputs an array and outputs a number.

Answer 13

Python (90)

a=map(int,raw_input().split())
print min(i for i in range(2,len(a))if a[i-2]+a[i-1]!=a[i])

Answer 14

Mathematica 59

Because space-delimited input is required, StringSplit needs to be employed. The following assumes that the input is in the form of a string i.

s = StringSplit@i;
p = 3; While[s[[p - 1]] + s[[p - 2]] == s[[p]], p++]; p - 1

Assuming the numbers are already in a IEnumerable(Of Integer).

 Dim p = xs.Skip(2).TakeWhile(Function(c, i) c = xs.Skip(i).Take(2).Sum).Count + 2

Kotlin, 77 bytes

{val r=it.split(' ').map{it.toInt()}
var i=2

Beautified

{
    val r = it.split(' ').map { it.toInt() }
    var i=2
    while(r[i] == r[i-1] + r[i-2]) i++

Test

var f:(String)->Int =
{val r=it.split(' ').map{it.toInt()}
var i=2
while(r[i]==r[i-1]+r[i-2])i++
i}

data class Test(val input: String, val output: Int)

val TESTS = listOf(
        Test("1 1 2 9 5 8 13", 3),
        Test("8 13 21 34 55 80", 5),

Answer 19

QBIC, 31 bytes

_!_!{_!~a+b=c|a=b┘b=c┘s=s+1\_Xs

Explanation

_!_!           Ask the user for two umbers, assign them to 'a' and 'b'
{              DO
 _!            Ask for a third number (this will be assigned to 'c' on every iteration)
 ~a+b=c        IF the previous two terms add up to the third
 |a=b          THEN shift b into a, 
   ┘b=c            and c into b
   ┘s=s+1          increment s (starts as 3 in QBIC)
 \_Xs          ELSE quit, printing the step counter

I'm not quite sure if this is allowed; the sequence is entered one term at a time, and the program aborts on error, not after entering the entire sequence.
