anonymous · Answer

its Fibonacci series

ranga · Answer

f(n) = f(n - 1) + f(n - 2)
Put n =3
f(3) = f(2) + f(1) = ?

lena772 · Answer

I don't understand? :/

anonymous · Answer

every number after the 2 nd term is the sum of previous two numbers

anonymous · Answer

so the answer is b)

ranga · Answer

They tell you f(1) = 0  and f(2) = 1 and so what is f(3)?
f(3) = f(2) + f(1) = ?

It looks like there are others willing to give you the answers without helping you learn.  So I am out.

Here is an outline of what it would look like in python: http://www.codeskulptor.org/#user20_mKYol66NQV_1.py (Need Firefox or Chrome for best compatibility). Examine the code and see if you can work through it.
