COMMENTS

Uses greedy algorithm (start with largest possible power of phi, then work downward)

constant (float): phi=(sqrt(5)+1)/2; function: lphi(x)=log(x)/log(phi); variable (float): rem=n; variable (integer): count=0; loop: while rem>0 {rem=rem-phi^floor[lphi(x)]; count++;} result: return count;
