Fun with Fibonacci

Over the weekend, I spent a little over 2 hours teaching myself Python, which is a wonderful scripting language that's useful for all sorts of things. Just now, I created a script that generates the Fibonacci sequence all the way out to 225,851,433,717 - which is the 56th number in the sequence. I could go further than that, if I wanted to; the sequence is infinite, after all.

The whole point of my endeavour into this language is so that I can use it for our school's Solar House, which I've been working on for the past few years or so. I'm helping develop the control system for our solar powered, self-sustaining home, which, when it is fully implemented, will include smartphone-controlled lighting, windows, and much more!

You can learn more about what I'm doing in the Solar Decathlon at our team's official website: http://sd13.scu.edu/
