Generate the Fibonacci Sequence With Python

The Fibonacci sequence is a pretty famous sequence of integer numbers. The sequence comes up naturally in many problems and has a nice recursive definition. Learning how to generate it is an essential step in the pragmatic programmer’s journey toward mastering recursion. In this video, you’ll focus on learning what the Fibonacci sequence is and how to generate it using Python.

This is a portion of the complete course, which you can find here:

The rest of the course covers how to:

- Use Recursion and a Python Class
- Optimize the recursive Fibonacci algorithm using memoization
- Generate the Fibonacci sequence using an iterative algorithm

Hello, it's an amazing explanation of Fibonacci sequence, I appreciate it a lot, and I'm still waiting for another series of this topic, i know it's hard to find a bit time in yours full schedule but please.

I understand we use the index of the number to generate the integer for the next number but why does it use the index and not the value. So why does Python take a value of 2 for the number 3? Great video!

The Fibonacci series is a good use case for learning recursion, but I think recursion is not a good use case for generating the Fibonacci series.
