🏄Product of consecutive Fib numbers
The Fibonacci numbers are the numbers in the following integer sequence (Fn):
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, ...
such as
F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2) with F(0) = 0 and F(1) = 1.
Given a number, say prod (for product), we search two Fibonacci numbers F(n) and F(n+1) verifying
F(n) * F(n+1) = prod.
Your function productFib takes an integer (prod) and returns an array:
[F(n), F(n+1), true] or {F(n), F(n+1), 1} or (F(n), F(n+1), True)
depending on the language if F(n) * F(n+1) = prod.
If you don't find two consecutive F(m) verifying F(m) * F(m+1) = prodyou will return
[F(m), F(m+1), false] or {F(n), F(n+1), 0} or (F(n), F(n+1), False)
F(m) being the smallest one such as F(m) * F(m+1) > prod.
Examples
productFib(714) # should return [21, 34, true],
# since F(8) = 21, F(9) = 34 and 714 = 21 * 34
productFib(800) # should return [34, 55, false],
# since F(8) = 21, F(9) = 34, F(10) = 55 and 21 * 34 < 800 < 34 * 55
Notes: Not useful here but we can tell how to choose the number n up to which to go: we can use the "golden ratio" phi which is (1 + sqrt(5))/2 knowing that F(n) is asymptotic to: phi^n / sqrt(5). That gives a possible upper bound to n.
You can see examples in "Example test".

Best Practices
Py First:
def productFib(prod):
a, b = 0, 1
while prod > a * b:
a, b = b, a + b
return [a, b, prod == a * b]
Py Second:
class Fib(object):
"""docstring for Fib"""
def __init__(self):
super(Fib, self).__init__()
self._a = 0
self._b = 1
def __call__(self):
self._a, self._b = self._b, self._a + self._b
return self._a, self._b
def productFib(prod):
# your code
fib = Fib()
a, b = fib()
while (a * b) < prod:
a, b = fib()
return [a, b, (a * b) == prod]
Py Third:
def make_fib(a=1, b=1):
while True:
yield (a, b)
a, b = b, a+b
def productFib(prod):
for n1, n2 in make_fib():
if n1 * n2 == prod:
return [n1, n2, True]
if n1 * n2 > prod:
return[n1,n2, False]
