The [Fibonacci numbers][fibonacci-number] are the integer sequence

The sequence is defined by the recurrence relation

## Usage

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

#### fibonacci( n )

Computes the nth [Fibonacci number][fibonacci-number].

```javascript
var v = fibonacci( 0 );
// returns 0

v = fibonacci( 1 );
// returns 1

v = fibonacci( 2 );
// returns 1

v = fibonacci( 3 );
// returns 2

v = fibonacci( 78 );
// returns 8944394323791464
```

If `n > 78`, the function returns `NaN`, as larger [Fibonacci numbers][fibonacci-number] cannot be safely represented in [double-precision floating-point format][ieee754].

```javascript
var v = fibonacci( 79 );
// returns NaN
```

If not provided a nonnegative integer value, the function returns `NaN`.

```javascript
var v = fibonacci( 3.14 );
// returns NaN

v = fibonacci( -1 );
// returns NaN
```

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

```javascript
var v = fibonacci( NaN );
// returns NaN
```

var v;
var i;

for ( i = 0; i < 79; i++ ) {
    v = fibonacci( i );
    console.log( v );
}
