I wanted to use : z = feval(symengine,'numlib::fibonacci',10)
to get the 10th element for example but CODY returns:
Could not check out Symbolic Math Toolbox license.

pas de chance!

You should add test cases where x or x+1 equals an even fibonacci number (either small or large).

Nice problem. I always have problem with big numbers.

I solved the problem until x = 4000000 but x = 97455000 it gives me an error of exceeding the memory(overflow) because the number is too large.

My solution works fine on my Laptop unter R2015b. Nevertheless i get the error:
While evaluating the solution, the server encountered an error caused by temporary unavailability of MATLAB Service. Wait a few minutes for the MATLAB Service to return, and then rescore.

this trick (c.f. Solution 26456) works only for these particular test cases, it would fail for example with euler002(6)...
