This Python script generates the Fibonacci sequence up to a user-specified number of terms. It's a great introduction to loops, functions, and input handling in Python.
The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones. It typically starts with:
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, ...
It appears in various areas of mathematics, computer science, and even nature — such as in the arrangement of leaves or the pattern of a pine cone.
- Accepts user input for the number of terms to generate
- Includes input validation for user-friendly errors
- Encapsulated in a function for reusability
- Clean terminal output of each term in the sequence
