Fibonacci numbers

Description

A recurrence relation is an equation that recursively defines a sequence, once one or more initial terms are given: each further term of the sequence is defined as a function of the preceding terms.The Fibonacci numbers are the archetype of a linear, homogeneous recurrence relation with constant coefficients. Fo=0, F1=1
We obtain the sequence of Fibonacci numbers which begins:

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, ...
