As a human, I’m having trouble understanding the problem description. What does it mean to “skip 5”? I’ve always understood the definition of a Fibonacci sequence to be, starting with 2 numbers (usually 1 and 1) the next number in the sequence is the sum of the previous 2.

So starting with 1 and 1, we get 2. 2 and 1 is three. 3 and 2 is five. What do we do from here? Do I not add 5 and 3? If not, then what do I add? 3 and 2 again? Do I repeat 3 and get 6? What does it mean to “skip 5”?

With the prompt

  // Print the fibonnaci sequence, except the number 5.
  int main() {

I got the result:

    int a = 0;
    int b = 1;
    int c = 0;
    while (c < 100) {
        c = a + b;
        a = b;
        b = c;
        if (c != 5) {
            cout << c << endl;
        }
    }
    return 0;
