Merge with Negafibonacci
[edit]I'm wondering if this page should be merged with Negafibonacci. Thoughts? Jaswenso (talk) 08:58, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
- I think it should be moved, since WP uses a naming system that is case sensitive except for the first letter. RJFJR (talk) 01:42, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
Example
[edit]Something is wrong with the example. The description says all codes end in 11 but the code for zero is 01. RJFJR (talk) 01:42, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
I have edited the article. Zero simply cannot be encoded. Zero is represented as the empty sum, but you need at least one term to terminate a code, just as with normal Fibonacci coding. Unfortunately I can't find any sources that aren't copies of Wikipedia or anything better. This is one sad article. --Jonathanvt (talk) 09:50, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
Encoding
[edit]The described algorithm is wrong. Counterexample: -18. Algorithm fails after generating [-21,5] instead of [-21,2,1]. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.172.9.250 (talk) 01:47, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
Title case?
[edit]Is the a good reason for the unusual case used in this article's title? If not, then it should be moved to Negafibonacci coding. – Scyrme (talk) 15:45, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
- I've gone ahead and moved it; rationale, as given in the edit summary:
Reliable sources use it without the irregular unhyphenated, mid-word capitalisation, so there's no reason the title of the article should use this bizarre capitalisation
