<section class="usage">

## Usage

```javascript
var fibonacciIndex = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/fibonacci-index' );
```

#### fibonacciIndex( F )

Computes the [Fibonacci number][fibonacci-number] index for `F_n > 1`.

```javascript
var n = fibonacciIndex( 2 );
// returns 3

n = fibonacciIndex( 3 );
// returns 4

n = fibonacciIndex( 5 );
// returns 5
```

If provided either a non-integer or `F_n <= 1`, the function returns `NaN`. 

```javascript
var n = fibonacciIndex( -1 );
// returns NaN

n = fibonacciIndex( 3.14 );
// returns NaN
```

If provided `NaN`, the function returns `NaN`.

```javascript
var n = fibonacciIndex( NaN );
// returns NaN
```

var F1;
var F2;
var FN;
var n;
var i;

F1 = 1;
F2 = 1;
for ( i = 3; i < 79; i++ ) {
    FN = F1 + F2;
    F1 = F2;
    F2 = FN;
    n = fibonacciIndex( FN );
    console.log( 'n(%d) = %d', FN, n );
}
