fibonacci is a simple application that calculates the Fibonacci sequence.
First, new up an insance of the Fibonacci class:
fib = Fibonacci.new
There is only one method available, but you can use it two different ways.
To calculate the value of the nth element of the Fibonacci sequence pass nth_element an integer argument:
fib.nth_element(8) => 13
To see how many places the algorithm can calculate the sequence to in 10 seconds don't pass in any arguments:
fib.nth_element => Computed 267098 places in 10 seconds.
(you will need to wait 10 seconds)
Amy Kang contributed to the algorithm design.
Kevin Townsend helped with testing.
