/*
   This is a simple program written in go language.
   This program takes in a number as an input an 
   returns the Fnth term in the fibonacci sequence.

   Here the base case is Fo =1 and F1 =1
   Formula goes as : Fn = Fn-1 + Fn-2

   Sample I/O :

   a) Base Case :   

   Enter the number :0
   The number is : 0 

   Enter the number :1
   The number is : 1   

   b) At random number n : 

   Output-1:

   Enter the number :20
   The number is : 6765      

   Output-2:

   Enter the number :40
   The number is : 102334155
