--description--

The Fibonacci Word Sequence may be created in a manner analogous to the Fibonacci Sequence, but it focuses on iterating concatenation.

Define  F_Word1  as  1
Define  F_Word2  as  0
Form   F_Word3  as  F_Word2   concatenated with  F_Word1   i.e.:  01
Form   F_Wordn  as  F_Wordn-1  concatenated with  F_wordn-2

Entropy calculation is required in this challenge, as shown in this Rosetta Code challenge

--instructions--

Write a function to return the first n Fibonacci Words. The number of n is provided as a parameter to the function. The function should return an array of objects. The objects should be of the form: { N: 1, Length: 1, Entropy: 0, Word: '1' }. Entropy is computed for the string Word and rounded to 8 decimal digits of accuracy. Note that the indices of this sequence start at 1.

--hints--

fibWord should be a function.

assert(typeof fibWord === 'function');

fibWord(5) should return an array.

assert(Array.isArray(fibWord(5)));

fibWord(5) should return [{ N:1, Length:1, Entropy:0, Word:"1" },{ N:2, Length:1, Entropy:0, Word:"0" },{ N:3, Length:2, Entropy:1, Word:"01" },{ N:4, Length:3, Entropy:0.91829583, Word:"010" },{ N:5, Length:5, Entropy:0.97095059, Word:"01001" }].

assert.deepEqual(fibWord(5), words5);

fibWord(7) should return [{ N:1, Length:1, Entropy:0, Word:"1" },{ N:2, Length:1, Entropy:0, Word:"0" },{ N:3, Length:2, Entropy:1, Word:"01" },{ N:4, Length:3, Entropy:0.91829583, Word:"010" },{ N:5, Length:5, Entropy:0.97095059, Word:"01001" }, { N:6, Length:8, Entropy:0.954434, Word:'01001010' }, { N:7, Length:13, Entropy:0.9612366, Word:'0100101001001' }].

assert.deepEqual(fibWord(7), words7);
