Python Program to Print the Fibonacci
sequence
In this program, you'll learn to print the Fibonacci sequence using while loop.
To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of the following Python
programming topics:
Python if...else Statement
Python while Loop
A Fibonacci sequence is the integer sequence of 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8....
The first two terms are 0 and 1. All other terms are obtained by adding the preceding
two terms. This means to say the nth term is the sum of (n-1)th and (n-2)th term.
Source Code
# Program to display the Fibonacci sequence up to n-th term
nterms = int(input("How many terms? "))
# first two terms
n1, n2 = 0, 1
count = 0
# check if the number of terms is valid
if nterms <= 0:
print("Please enter a positive integer")
elif nterms == 1:
print("Fibonacci sequence upto",nterms,":")
print(n1)
else:
print("Fibonacci sequence:")
while count < nterms:
print(n1)
nth = n1 + n2
# update values
n1 = n2
n2 = nth
count += 1
Output
How many terms? 7
Fibonacci sequence:
0
1
1
2
3
5
8
Here, we store the number of terms in nterms . We initialize the first term to 0 and the
second term to 1.
If the number of terms is more than 2, we use a while loop to find the next term in the
sequence by adding the preceding two terms. We then interchange the variables
(update it) and continue on with the process.
You can also solve this problem using recursion: Python program to print the
Fibonacci sequence using recursion.
