Examples

Fibonacci(0)                            # 1
Fibonacci(2)                            # 2
Fibonacci(0:3)                          # 0 1 1 2


# Golden ratio
F <- Fibonacci(1:25)                    # ... 75025 121393

phi <- (sqrt(5) + 1)/2
abs(f25 - phi)                          # 7.945178e-11
