1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,........

Hello All,
its seams this series has captured a lot of attention in computer science and mathemetics, and i see a lot of big big equations.
Now lets talk about writting a code to print the Fibonacci_numbers .
You see co-incidentally Fibonacci series is the first algorithm/code i ever wrote (FORTRAN). Then i didnt even know that the series is this important/porpular...but what i wrote then is so simple (few lines) than all the big equations and codes i see this days online.
I hereby want to discuss the code here for validation...in case i am missing something.

Here is a C-type pseudo-code of it:

A=1;
B=1;
while(count < Max){
PRINT A;
PRINT B;
A=A+B;
B=A+B;
count++;
}

i think this should simply print all the Fibonacci numbers (uptill Max) in linear time without need for any specialized recursion!
So why all the big recursive codes?...can someone pls clarify & validate my code :?:

Tanx!

PS: I never ran d code...no access to computer then...i used my eyes to run it on paper...and i am still using my eyes

another interesting program to write is the a program to generate the pascal triangle.. i did that when i studied basic.. i even added colors and lord it felt good to gain my coleagues respect in class... since then i got stuck with the tag "our programmmer". i love programming challenges.. keep me moving

Fowe. Lets throw away the rotating pascal triangle codes. And all the rest too . . .

At this point, we should be talking about ground breaking algorithms and codes, not
pascal triangles.

To those that love programming challenges, . . . . Hmmm Hmmm, I just dey clear my throat.
