Zeckendorf number representation
just as numbers can be represented in a positional notation as sums of multiples of the powers of ten (decimal) or two (binary); all the positive integers can be represented as the sum of one or zero times members of the Fibonacci series.
Recall that the first seven Fibonacci numbers are: 13, 8, 5, 3, 2, 1, 1 (written right-to left). The decimal number eleven can be written as 0*13 + 1*8 + 0*5 + 1*3 + 0*2 + 0*1 + 0*1 or 0101000 in positional notation where the columns represent multiplication by a particular member of the series. Leading zeroes are dropped so that 11 decimal becomes 101000.
101000 is not the only way to make 11 from the Fibonacci sequence however; 0*13 + 1*8 + 0*5 + 0*3 + 1*2 + 1*1 + 0*1 or 0100110 would also represent decimal 11. For a true Zeckendorf number there is the added restriction that that no two consecutive Fibonacci numbers can be used which leads to the former unique solution.
- Task specifics
It turns out that a greedy algorithm that uses the next member of the sequence less than or equal to the remainder of the number being converted will generate the Zeckendorf number representation. The task is to generate and show here a table of the Zeckendorf number representation of the decimal numbers zero to twenty, in order. To avoid variability:
- The Fibonacci sequence should begin with the two integers 1 and 1.
- Starting from a reverse sequence of fibonacci numbers where the greatest is a number less than or equal to the decimal for conversion, greedily subtract the next fibonacci number and accumulate a '1' digit of the answer if the next fibonacci is less than or equal to the remaining decimal; or accumulate a digit zero of the answer, (answer digits are accumulated left to right).
- repeat by moving down to the previous member of the sequence and repeat until all members of thesequence have accumulated a digit of the answer.
- Remove the rightmost, (most significant), digit if it is zero.
- Return the digits as the answer.

for i := 0; i <= 20; i++ { fmt.Printf("%2d %7b\n", i, zeckendorf(i)) }
}
func zeckendorf(n int) int {

}
func zr(fib0, fib1, n int, bit uint) (remaining, set int) {
switch { case fib1 > n: return n, 0 case fib1 == n: return fib1 - n, 1 << bit } remaining, set = zr(fib1, fib0+fib1, n, bit+1) if fib1 <= remaining { set |= 1 << bit remaining -= fib1 } return
