Or, more simply: fib(4000001) - 1

Calculating that is pretty simple. :)

In general, \sum_{i=0}^n F_{2i} = F_{2n+1} - 1, or, in English, the sum of the first n even terms of the Fibonacci sequence is the (2n+1)th Fibonacci number minus one.

Here n = 2,000,000

I'm working my way through Beautiful Code and enjoying it. But I hear there's a book called More Effective C# coming out, so maybe you should wait for that.

If you haven't read this www.borders.com/.../TitleDetail or this www.borders.com/.../TitleDetail then you should get them.

If you have, then you should get this www.borders.com/.../TitleDetail

Or you can get all three.

The last fiction I read was enjoyable. Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder www.borders.com/.../TitleDetail
