C: Math functions?

Question

What include statement do I need to access the math functions in this C code?

unsigned int fibonacci_closed(unsigned int n) {
 double term_number = (double) n;
 double golden_ratio = (1 + sqrt(5)) / 2;
 double numerator = pow(golden_ratio, term_number);
 return round(numerator/sqrt(5));
}

I tried #include <math.h> but that didn't seem to do it.

I'm using Visual Studio 2010 (Windows 7). This is the error:

1>ClCompile:
1>  fibonacci_closed.c
1>c:\users\odp\documents\visual studio 2010\projects\fibonacci\fibonacci\fibonacci_closed.c(7): warning C4013: 'round' undefined; assuming extern returning int
1>fibonacci_closed.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _round referenced in function _fibonacci_closed

Answer 1

that should be sufficient for compilation. on UNIX, you have to link with -lm. What is the exact error that you have?

Answer 2

Also, anytime you're on a POSIX-y system, you can usually use the manpages system to figure out what headers are required to get function declarations in-scope. Use $ man pow, and in the synopsis should be a #include <math.h> to show you what to include.

Answer 3

Round() does not exist in math.h for the Windows libraries. Define:

static inline double round(double val)
{    
    return floor(val + 0.5);
}

UPDATE: in response to your comment, sqrt() is defined in math.h

Answer 4

Round was added to C in C99 standards which is not supported by your compiler.
