[Cs35101] reasonable number for testing fib project

[Dianne Foreback]

Dear Computer Architecture Class:

Since you are required to use recursion for project 2, you may run into a
stack overflow condition if you test with "too large" of a number.  This
number can vary for each persons code due to what all is being pushed on
the stack.  Your code will be tested with a "reasonable" number.

I found an interesting link for the Fibonacci terms:
http://www.maths.surrey.ac.uk/hosted-sites/R.Knott/Fibonacci/fibtable.html

If you test with the number 50, the term is 12586269025; you might get the
stack overflow condition.

Best,
Dianne
