fibonacciUntilNum

Generates an array, containing the Fibonacci sequence, up until the nth term.

Create an empty array of the specific length, initializing the first two values (0 and 1). Use Array.reduce() to add values into the array, using the sum of the last two values, except for the first two. Uses a mathematical formula to calculate the length of the array required.

const fibonacciUntilNum = num => {
  let n = Math.ceil(Math.log(num * Math.sqrt(5) + 1 / 2) / Math.log((Math.sqrt(5) + 1) / 2));
  return Array.from({ length: n }).reduce(
    (acc, val, i) => acc.concat(i > 1 ? acc[i - 1] + acc[i - 2] : i),
    []
  );
};

fibonacciUntilNum(10); // [ 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 ]
