Hi!
I am trying to work out the code to get a Fibonacci sequence, using the
while() loop and only one variable. And I can't figure it out.

[1] 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55

Admittedly this does not use a while loop as you requested
Courtesy of Wikipedia
Fibonacci<-c(1,1)
while (max(Fibonacci)<500){
Fibonacci<-c(Fibonacci, (max(Fibonacci) + ?(Fibanacci)))
}
How can I tell R to take the value one before the max value? (Without
defining another variable)
(Probably super easy... I am a beginner...)
Thanks,
Georgie
