It's a critical point, if true. It would mean the relationship with  
the golden ratio wouldn't work for starters.

I've always assumed that it was 1, 1, etc. however Wikipedia says here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_number

"The first number of the sequence is 0, the second number is 1, and  
each subsequent number is equal to the sum of the previous two numbers  
of the sequence itself, yielding the sequence 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, etc."

So, my spec is wrong, but so is yours. :-P

As an additional exercise then, let's see the output being from 0 and  
by default start with 0 and 1, with the option of being able to set  
them to higher values for Francis.

Who is playing then? Anyone? Peer review is a critical part of  
becoming a better programmer you know...
