Here below a little program in JRuby that implements 2 classes. There is the main class, called Fiborial (Fibo(nnacci)+(Facto)rial) that implements the Fibonacci and the Factorial algorithms in two ways, one Recursive (using recursion) and the other Imperative (using loops and states). The second class is just an instance class that does the same thing, but its there just to show the difference between static and instance classes, and finally a main function called as module level code.
You can also find 3 more little examples at the bottom. One prints out the Factorial's Series and Fibonacci's Series, the second one just shows a class that mixes both: static and instance members, and finally the third one that uses different return types for the Factorial method to compare the timing and result.
As with the previous posts, you can copy and paste the code below in your favorite IDE/Editor and start playing and learning with it. This little "working" program will teach you some more basics of the Programming Language.
There are some "comments" on the code added just to tell you what are or how are some features called. In case you want to review the theory, you can read my previous post, where I give a definition of each of the concepts mentioned on the code. You can find it here: http://carlosqt.blogspot.com/2011/01/new-series-factorial-and-fibonacci.html
WARNING: the code that you will see below is not following ruby guidelines/idiomatic coding, I did it in purpose to compare ruby's syntax and features side by side with other programming languages... For instance, instead of using a ruby bignum I imported and used java.math.BigInteger instead. Other examples, naming convention and so on, so bear with me!
I'm using the same Stopwatch java class that I used in the Java version of this post. I just added the .class into a 'target' folder and added it to the classpath. then I java_imported it. http://carlosqt.blogspot.com/2011/05/stopwatch-class-for-java.html
