13. Complete the following program, which computes the Fibonacci series and displays
the result for the first 10 terms. Fibonacci series is defined as follows:
Fibonacci [0] = 1
Fibonacci [1] = 1
Fibonacci [2] = Fibonacci [0] + Fibonacci [1]
…
Fibonacci [n] = Fibonacci [n-2] + Fibonacci [n-1]

fib[1] = 1;
cout << "Seq n = " << 0 << " is : " << fib[0] << endl;
cout << "Seq n = " << 1 << " is : " << fib[1] << endl;
for (__________________________________________) { // Your answer DO NOT
fib[i] = fib[i-1] + fib[i-2]; ANSWER
