Problem

This problem involves you writing a program that will take in which Fibonacci number you want to print out and then iteratively calculates the number. Remember that the algorithm for Fibonacci numbers is Fibonacci[n] = Fibonacci[n-1] + Fibonacci[n-2] where Fibonacci[0] = 0 and Fibonacci[1] = 1. Remember you are going to want to declare your array but not specify the size until you take in your input with JOptionPane. Print out the number that is specified.
