Sequentia Filii Bonacci

Question

Leonardo of Pisa (ca. 1175 - ca. 1245) is better known as Fibonacci. But this is actually a short for the Latin "filius Bonacci" (the son of Bonacci) which was made up during the 18th century (according to Wikipedia).

In this challenge, you'll be given an ordinal number (in the literal sense) between 1st and 20th and you have to return the corresponding term in the Fibonacci sequence.

The twist is that the ordinal number will be given in Latin.

Example: "duodecimus" → \$89\$.

Rules

• The input is guaranteed to be exactly one of the strings described above.
• If that helps, you may take it in full uppercase instead. But it must be consistent for all entries. Mixed cases are not allowed.
• Depending on your algorithm and language, hardcoding or computing the terms of the sequence may either win or lose bytes. Both approaches are explicitly allowed.
• This is code-golf!

Answer 1

R, 91 86 bytes

Look up the index of the sum of bytes in a brute-forced UTF8 lookup table and use the magic Fibonacci generating function to give the answer.

function(x)round(1.618^match(sum(!x)%%93,!'%(-1!5+3JOSCW6')*.2765)
"!"=utf8ToInt

Edit: -2 bytes by improved numeric rounding

Edit: -3 bytes with a change to the lookup (thanks for the hint, @Giuseppe!)

Answer 2

Ruby, 104 93 bytes

->x{[8,4181,3,144,21,13,0,1,233,5,987,0,377,55,0,89,1,1597,34,610,0,2,2584][x.sum%192%76%23]}

Try it online!

Simply takes the sum of the bytes, modulo 192 modulo 76 modulo 23, and indexes into a lookup table. (Magic numbers found by brute force.)

Answer 3

Clean, 87 bytes

All escapes except \n are treated as one byte, since the compiler's fine with the actual raw values. (TIO and SE have issues with it not being valid UTF-8 though, and so it's escaped here)

FryAmTheEggman made a nice demonstration / workaround: here

import StdEnv
$s=hd[i\\i<-k 1 0&c<-:"\340\152\060\065\071\354\172\045\223\n\255\362\132\137\143\026\244\051\344\270"|c==sum s]
k b a=[a:k(a+b)b]

Try it online!

Defines the function $ :: [Char] -> Int, which uses the uniqueness in the summation of the uppercase character values to determine which term in the sequence (generated by the helper function k) to return.

Answer 4

6502 machine code (C64), 82 bytes

00 C0 20 9E AD 20 A3 B6 A8 88 A9 05 4A 90 02 49 B1 71 22 88 10 F6 29 1F C9 07

01 37 FF 03

This uses hashing (of course), but optimized for short implementation on the 6502, taking advantage of the carry flag set by shifting and used in addition. Magic numbers for hashing were found by brute forcing with a little C program; the FF bytes are unfortunate holes in the hash table ;)

Byte count: 2 bytes load address, 38 bytes code, 42 bytes hashtable for values.

Usage: SYS49152"[ordinal]", for example SYS49152"DUODECIMUS". (note the letters appear upper case in the default C64 configuration).

Important: Before the first start, issue a NEW command. This is needed because the C64 BASIC LOAD command fiddles with some BASIC vectors, even when loading a machine program to some absolute address (like here $C000/49152).

     // Calculate a silly hash of incoming string
     for (f = i = b = o = 0; *a; o += 21 * b++ + *a++ - 70);

     // Use the hash to index into the array of number values
     // and calculate the corresponding Fibonacci sequence element

Fibonacci generator shamelessly stolen from this answer.

Breaks each word down into its meaningful component parts and discards the rest (in "duodevicesimus", for example, we only care about "duo ev es "-> "2 - 20 " - > abs("2-20") -> 18).

Passes the calculated value (minus 1 to 0-offset) to the Fibonacci generator function.

Ungolfed Explanation:

# Fibonacci function
f=lambda x:x>1and f(x-1)+f(x-2)or x

def g(t):
    # generates a list of key, value pairs like [("pr", 1, ..., ("ec", 10)] +
    values = zip("pr secun ter qua qui sex sep oc no ec".split(), range(1,11))

    # adds values to existing list
    values += zip("un duo es ev".split(),(1,2,20,"-"))

    # replace the matching values in the string with the appropriate number/sign.
    # ORDER MATTERS - if "un" is searched for before "secun", this generates incorrect values.
    for i,c in values:
        t = t.replace(i,str(c))

    # replace each non-digit, non-minus character in string with "c"
    t = [(" ",c)[c in"0123456789-"]for c in t]

    # convert space-replaced array back to a string
    # then split it on spaces, creating an array of values
    t = "".join(t).split()

    # turn the array back into a string, with each individual item separated by "+"
    # this will cause "-" to become "+-+" (since "-" is ALWAYS between two numbers), so prelace that sequence with "-"
    t = "+".join(t).replace("+-+","-")

    # evaluate the string as an expression, and take the absolute value for when - occurs
    t = abs(eval(t))

    # pass the value, minus 1 for 0-offset, to the Fibonacci function.
    return f(t-1)

Answer 9

Python 2, 97 79 bytes

lambda s:int(1.618**('RV3NJ^[KDP=Z62AWeG<C'.find(chr(hash(s)%69+48)))*.4474+.5)

Try it online!

First, we want to convert from latin to a number n; this is accomplished by replicating the input string enough times to ensure that there are at least 11 characters total; and then the 3rd and 10th characters (zero indexed) form a unique pair taking the hash mod 69 and turning that into a printable char.

Now we have n. To find the nth Fibonacci number, we can use the rounding method, using only as many digits of precision as we need up to Fib(20).

Warning: WORKS BECAUSE OF FLOATING POINT INACCURACY

JavaScript has neither a built-in hash function, nor a short enough character-to-ASCII function (String.charCodeAt is the shortest already), so I need to define a simple hash function by myself.

Used the same rounding method as Chas Brown did after calculating the hash.

After a whole day of brute-forcing a better is found:

b32_to_dec(x.length + x) % 12789 % 24 (*floating point inaccuracy)

b32_to_dec(x.length + x) % 353 % 27 (*floating point inaccuracy)

b36_to_dec(x[2] + x.length) % 741 % 30
