For this lab you must submit all source code (python files), and, if applicable, the result(s) of running the program on (a few) test cases. This should be sent in via BLACKBOARD (not directly by email). The source code must be well presented (indenting, spaces, reasonable variable/function names, etc.) and must include comments (as a rough guideline - aim to have nearly as many comments as lines of code). Any questions asked should be answered by typing into a plain text (.txt) file which should also be uploaded via blackboard.
This material should be uploaded before the deadline of 5pm Friday February 18th, 2011. You will lose 20% for each day (or part of day) the lab is late.
Plagiarism (the unattributed copying of work from other sources (internet, fellow students,....)) will not be tolerated. Please see http://www.nuigalway.ie/engineering/documents/plagiarism_guide_students _v4.pdf. You risk getting zero for your lab if it is found to be plagiarized.

The Fibonacci Numbers (or sequence) are defined by setting the first two numbers equal to one, and each successive number equal to the addition (sum) of the previous two numbers. In other words, f₁=1, f₂=1, f_i= f_i-1+f_i-2, so we get the sequence 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21,.... Write a program in PYTHON to calculate the n^th Fibonacci Number, using

Iteration

Recursion

(You should submit your two programs as separate attachments in the BLACKBOARD upload page).
