Im curious how does the Fibonacci sequence get from zero to one. Without that how could the rest be possible. Any ideas?

    I downvoted you because your answer is confusing and doesn’t seem to address the heart of OP’s question (as evidenced by the fact that they had to effectively restate their question in their response). Yes, 0+1 is the next number, but citing Wikipedia doesn’t address how we initially get from 0 to 1 when there aren’t two previous numbers available in the sequence. Where does the 1 come from?

    Your answer is what prompted me to provide an answer of my own (with explicitly cited source) that attempts to more directly and clearly answer the question.

    I’m sorry if you feel that my downvote is unjustified, but I still don’t believe that your answer contributed productively to the discussion.

      And yet the person who asked the question responded and indeed thought I added to the conversation. Especially because there literally weren’t any answers.

      So my answer contributed multiple ways, given you literally answered because I did.

      So thanks for the explanation, but yikes! It’s “no stupid questions,” get off your pedestal.

      “No stupid questions? No friendly answers!”

      That’s ok, I won’t be back!

        I’m here from /all, so no need to leave on my account.

        You wanted to know why I downvoted you, so I told you. What you do with that information is up to you.
