It should be emphasized that this iterative procedure is much more efficient than the recursive procedure in the " Fibonacci Sequence of n using recursion" document.
Files/Graphics attachments (if applicable): Code:
The celebrated Fibonacci Sequence (usually denoted by F0,F1,F2,F3,...) is as follows
 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,...

That is F0 = 0 and F1 = 1 and each succeeding term is the sum of the two preceding terms.
For example, the next two terms of the sequence are 34 + 55 = 89 and 55 + 89 = 144

The formal definition of this function follows:
(a) If n = 0 or n = 1, then Fn = n.
(b) if n > 1, then Fn = Fn-2 + Fn-1
