Fibonacci Numbers
A Fibonacci number is a number which is part of a sequence of number known as a Fibonacci sequence. You get the next number
adding the two numbers before it. An example would be 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34... If you take two initial numbers other than 0, you can
create a Fibonacci sequence. Another strange property of Fibonacci numbers is, if you divide consecutive numbers in a sequence,
you get an approximation of the Golden Ratio, which is
approximately 1.618.
The program below will calculate a list of Fibonacci numbers from two initial numbers.
Unfortunately, an internet browser is limited in it's calculating power. If you create a program, however, in BASIC,C++,or Foxpro,
you have less limitations. The following is a general source code for calculating Fibonacci numbers.
It will calculate to 1,000 number for the initial values of A=1 and B=1.
CLEAR
A=1
B=1
FOR X=1 TO 1000
A=A+B
B=B+A
PRINT A
PRINT B
ENDFOR
