title: 'Problem 2: Even Fibonacci Numbers'
forumTopicId: 301838

## Description
<section id='description'>
Each new term in the Fibonacci sequence is generated by adding the previous two terms. By starting with 1 and 2, the first 10 terms will be:
<div style='text-align: center;'>1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, ...</div>
By considering the terms in the Fibonacci sequence that do not exceed the <code>n</code>th term, find the sum of the even-valued terms.

## Tests
<section id='tests'>
```yml
tests:
- text: <code>fiboEvenSum(10)</code> should return 44.
testString: assert.strictEqual(fiboEvenSum(10), 44);
- text: <code>fiboEvenSum(18)</code> should return 3382.
testString: assert.strictEqual(fiboEvenSum(18), 3382);
- text: <code>fiboEvenSum(23)</code> should return 60696.
testString: assert.strictEqual(fiboEvenSum(23), 60696);
- text: <code>fiboEvenSum(43)</code> should return 350704366.
testString: assert.strictEqual(fiboEvenSum(43), 350704366);
- text: Your function should return an <code>even</code> value.
testString: assert.equal(fiboEvenSum(10) % 2 === 0, true);
```

## Challenge Seed
<section id='challengeSeed'>
<div id='js-seed'>
```js
function fiboEvenSum(n) {
// You can do it!
return true;
}
fiboEvenSum(10);
```
</div>
</section>
## Solution
<section id='solution'>
```js
const fiboEvenSum = (number) => {
if (number <= 1) {
return 0;
} else {
let evenSum = 2, first = 1, second = 2, fibNum; // According to problem description our Fibonacci series starts with 1, 2
for (let i = 3; i <= number; i++) {
fibNum = first + second;
first = second;
second = fibNum;
if (fibNum % 2 == 0) {
evenSum += fibNum;
}
}
return evenSum;
}
}
```
