# e.g. 6th fibonacci number is 8

# Time complexity: ?
# Space complexity: ?
# Time complexity: O(n) - linear, because the number of loops is determined by the value of the input integer, "n."
# Space complexity: Constant, because the algorithm only ever tracks 2 values, regardless of
# the input integer.
