This is a simple php algorithm to find the nth term of a fibinacci series

How to start the app

  • on your terminal run php -S localhost:8000 fibonacci.php

  • Navigate to localhost:8000 to see that the app is up and running

  • To test a particular fibonacci output, go to fibonacci.php and assign a value to $nthFibonacci then refresh the browser to see the newly computed output.

Approach to problem

  • First I know that a fibonacci series is the sum of natural number where each each subsequent number is the sum of the previous two. eg: 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,...

  • Secondly, I will have to find a way to track each pair of the last two numbers to form the next fibonacci number and continue that step until I get to the nth term then I stop and output that value.
