Just in case anyone is interested... If you want to find the n'th
Fibonacci number and not go through the entires sequence, you can
use the formula:
F(n) = ( P^n - (-P)^(-n) ) / sqrt(5) where P = (1 + sqrt(5))/2
and it's also possible to extend Fibonacci numbers to negative n.
Pretty fascinating (:
Also, if you have F(n) you can find F(n+1). Let x denote F(n).
F(n+1) = floor( (x + 1 + sqrt(5x^2)) / 2).
