Problem 2
Each new term in the Fibonacci sequence is generated by adding the previous two terms. By starting with 1 and 2, the first 10 terms will be:
1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, ...
By considering the terms in the Fibonacci sequence whose values do not exceed four million, find the sum of the even-valued terms.
C++:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
const long N = 4000000;
int main()
{
long f1 = 1, f2 = 2, f3;
long ans = f2;
for(;;) {
f3 = f1 + f2;
if(f3 > N)
break;
if(f3 % 2 == 0) {
ans += f3;
}
f1 = f2;
f2 = f3;
}
cout << ans << endl;
return 0;
}
Python:
ls=[1,1]
ans=0
while ls[-1] <4000000:
ls.append(ls[-1]+ls[-2])
if (ls[-1]&1) == 0:
ans+=ls[-1]
print(ans)
