Mandatory $\LaTeX$ test. The sequence goes like this: $0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, ...$.

\(F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2)\)
        def calculate_fibonacci(n):
            if n <= 1:
                return n
            else:
                a, b = 0, 1
                for _ in range(2, n + 1):
                    a, b = b, a + b
                return b
