Recursive Fibonacci

Question

I\'m having a hard time understanding why

#include 

using namespace std;

int fib(int x) {
    if (x == 1) {
        return 1;
    } else {
         


        

Answer 1

By definition, the first two numbers in the Fibonacci sequence are 1 and 1, or 0 and 1. Therefore, you should handle it.

#include 
using namespace std;

int Fibonacci(int);

int main(void) {
    int number;

    cout << "Please enter a positive integer: ";
    cin >> number;
    if (number < 0)
        cout << "That is not a positive integer.\n";
    else
        cout << number << " Fibonacci is: " << Fibonacci(number) << endl;
}

int Fibonacci(int x) 
{
    if (x < 2){
     return x;
    }     
    return (Fibonacci (x - 1) + Fibonacci (x - 2));
}
