COMMENTS

Uses least-greedy algorithm (start with largest possible power of phi, writing a 1 only when required, then work downward)

constant (float): phi=(sqrt(5)+1)/2; variable (float): lphi=phi^floor[log(n)/log(phi)]; variable (float): rem=n; variable (integer): count=0; loop: while lphi>1 (count=count*10; lphi=lphi/phi; if(rem > lphi*phi) { rem=rem-lphi; count++;}}

EXAMPLE

6 = 111.01101010... in base phi using the least-greedy

algorithm. The part to the left of the decimal is a(6) = 111.
