What iswrong with it (i think that i have to do the "stop moment", but i
dont know how)
fibbonacci=function(x) {

return(1)

}

Just a hint: do you need a while condition? If so, might a return() help you out? If not, what's the cleanest way to eliminate it? Note that R has the convention that the final value in the function is the one returned, but that constructs like this can trip you up: x <- 5 while(x > 0) x <- x - 1 print(.Last.value) Cheers, Michael
