I only comment on this because it keeps  happening.  Maybe this got lost in
translation, time, or some other form of universally obviscating force, but
the point of this list is not to blindly provide answers to what is so
clearly an exercise.  Instead, it is to teach so that folks can actually
learn the concepts behind what they are doing.

This is a learning exercise, so just providing the answer is not only
absolutely beyond useless, but frankly considered cheating if it's an
assignment.

Again, it just keeps happening, so I wanted to point that out one more time,
even though tons of other folks have already pointed this out time and time
before.

Please don't provide answers to learning problems ... Instead, please help
the person understand how to arrive at the solution.

Take care,
Sina

simplex:
$f1=0;
$f2=1;
$fn=$f1+$f2;
write $f1+ " " + $f2 + " " + $fn;
for $i=4; $i=$n; $i++
{
$f1=$f2;
$f2=$fn;
$fn=$f1+$f2;
write $fn;
}
