"C. A Calculator Program for Decomposing an Integer According to the Fibonacci Number System
To call the program, press
    GTO "FNS"
and enter the integer to be decomposed, for example,
    1000.
Then press
    R/S
to start the calculation. The display will show in rapid succession the Fibonacci decomposition of 1000 and the least significant term once more with two zeroes after the decimal point (because this is important in a winning strategy for nim-like games; see Chap. 5):
    987.      13.      13.00
More specifically, in such a parlor game, when confronted with a pile of 1000 chips, take 13 away to start your winning strategy. (Rules of the game: No player can take more than twice the number of chips his predecessor just took, but each player must take at least one chip, and the first player may not take all the chips. He who takes the last chip(s) wins.)
