What is the Fibonacci sequence and how does it work?

 Have you ever noticed the veins of the leaves or counted the petals of a flower? If yes, then you might have noticed that every petal formation or the veins of the leaves follow a specific pattern.

Wondering what is it? Well, it is the Fibonacci sequence. This is a series of numbers which follows a specific pattern.

Every consecutive number in a Fibonacci series is the result of a sum of the two previous numbers.

For example a Fibonacci series would go something like:

0,1,2,2,4,6,10,16…..

In terms of mathematics, the Fibonacci sequence is represented by the initials Fn. You might have already guessed why that is. This sequence was named after a mathematician who first derived the series who was also known as Fibonacci.

Since the Fibonacci series follows a specific pattern, you can actually print n number of digits using the series.

This implies the fact that the Fibonacci series can be printed till an infinite number of digits.

The Python Fibonacci series is also a similar concept. You can print the Fibonacci series using coding languages such as Java and Python.

In this blog we will be discussing the Fibonacci series at length and find out how you can use the sequence to print during your coding exam.

What do you mean by the Fibonacci series?

The Fibonacci series in Java is the sequence of numbers which is characterised by starting with the number 0. If you observe a Fibonacci sequence you will find that every third digit of the series is the sum of the previous two digits.

Consider the following Fibonacci series as an example:

0,1,2,2,4,6,10,16…..

Observing the numbers in the sequence you will find that every third number is derived by adding up the previous two numbers. The only catch is that every Fibonacci sequence starts with 0.

The progression of the series will remain exactly the same no matter which problem you have been given to solve.
