title: 'Problem 2: Even Fibonacci Numbers'
---

## 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 whose values do not exceed <code>n</code>th term, find the sum of the even-valued terms.

## Tests

```yml
tests:
  - text: <code>fiboEvenSum(10)</code> should return 188.
    testString: 'assert.strictEqual(fiboEvenSum(10), 188, ''<code>fiboEvenSum(10)</code> should return 188.'');'
  - text: <code>fiboEvenSum(23)</code> should return 60696.
    testString: 'assert.strictEqual(fiboEvenSum(23), 60696, ''<code>fiboEvenSum(23)</code> should return 60696.'');'
  - text: <code>fiboEvenSum(43)</code> should return 1485607536.
    testString: 'assert.strictEqual(fiboEvenSum(43), 1485607536, ''<code>fiboEvenSum(43)</code> should return 1485607536.'');'
  - text: Your function is not returning the correct result using our tests values.
    testString: 'assert.strictEqual(fiboEvenSum(18), 3382, ''Your function is not returning the correct result using our tests values.'');'
  - text: Your function should return an <code>even</code> value.
    testString: 'assert.equal(fiboEvenSum(31) % 2 === 0, true, ''Your function should return an <code>even</code> value.'');'

## Solution

```js
const fiboEvenSum = (number) => {
  let temp, sum = 0, a = 0, b = 1;
    while (number >= 0) {
      temp = a;
      a = b;
      b += temp;
      number --;
      if ((b % 2) === 0) {
        sum += b;
      }
    }

  return sum;
}
```
