I found a nice explanation (from some other site) on how to get this formula T(n) = fib(n+2). Consider the set of all binary numbers of length n that end with 0. The first n-1 positions can be anything (0 or 1). So if we take the set of all binary numbers of length n-1 and append 0 to each of it

recursion. for length n if the count is T(n) then T(n) = 1st digit 0 + 1st digit 1 = T(n-1) + 1st digit 1 && 2nd digit 0 = T(n-1) + T(n-2) QED. On Tue, Jun 8, 2010 at 9:03 PM, Raj N wrote: > I just checked out with so many possibilities and it is indeed matching. I > may not be correct though.

it might be referring to no of sequences (say T(n) ) with no consecutive 1's for n = 3, ans would be 5 viz. 000, 001, 010, 100, 101 T(n) = fib(n+2) where fib = Fibonacci series which is interesting. On Sat, Jun 5, 2010 at 11:40 AM, Raj N wrote: > @sharad: What about 101 even it doesn't have tw
