That's the Fibonacci Series. It would be hard for me to forgive anyone who wouldn't at least recognize it too, since it is so famous and is basically the classic example of recursion.

EDIT: seeing as this thread is about a CS major trying to get a job, this is also something that is taught quite early in a CS curriculum ;)



The job was as a system administrator, emphasizing troubleshooting and automation. The question wasn't job related.

I can handle Fibonacci when the problem is described, but a page of math means nothing to me.
