Fibonacci Function Question

Question

I was calculating the Fibonacci sequence, and stumbled across this code, which I saw a lot:

    int Fibonacci (int x)
{
    if (x<=1) {
        return 1;
         


        

Answer 1

This is classic function recursion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursive_function should get you started. Essentially if x less than or equal to 1 it returns 1. Otherwise it it decreases x running Fibonacci at each step.
