I am new to Python programming, I was trying to work out a few
problems in
order to grasp the knowledge gained after going through the basic
chapters
on Python programming. I got stuck with a memory error.
Always show us the full error text, it contains a lot of useful data.
It is usually helpful to show us the code too if not too long.
Alternatively post in on a web site such as pastebin.
Following is what I did,
1. I need to find the sum of all numbers at even positions in
the
Fibonacci series upto 2 million.
Shouldn't be a problem.
2. I have used lists to achieve this.
One list should suffice. (and you could do it without any lists...)
3. My program works good with smaller ranges. Say till 10,000 or
even
100,000. However when I compute the sum for bigger ranges it gives
me the
memory error.
4. Also could someone tell me how to get the result in the form
of an
exponent. For instance, I would prefer 10^5 rather 100000.
You can use string formatting using the %e or %g markers.
See my tutorial topic Simple Sequences for more info on format strings
or search the documentation.
