Python Program for Fibonacci Series

What is fibonacci series?

Fibonacci series is an integer sequence where every number after the first two is the sum of the two preceding ones.

0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 ... etc

Fibonacci Series Algorithm

Fibonacci n'th term is calculated as sum of n-1'th term and n-2'th term.

F{n}=F{n-1}+F{n-2}
where F{0} = 0 and F{1} = 1
