The Fibonacci Sequence

[XML] [Smart Pascal] [JavaScript] [Python] [output]

See Dr Ron Knott's Fibonacci page for the relevance of the sequence in nature. Fibonacci number 0 is 0 and Fibonacci number 1 is 1. Thereafter, each term of the sequence is equal to the sum of the preceding two terms.

We used the Blockly Playground to generate Python code from the same blocks.
