[New-bugs-announce] [issue31757] Tutorial: Fibonacci numbers start with 1, 1

[Heinrich Schnermann]

New submission from Heinrich Schnermann <pythonbug at schnermann.net>:

In https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/controlflow.html#defining-functions both examples produce fibonacci numbers starting with 0. They should start with 1, as in the example in https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/introduction.html#first-steps-towards-programming

The first example should change the lines
    while a < n:
        print(a, end=' ')
to
    while b < n:
        print(b, end=' ')

and the second example should change the lines
    while a < n:
        result.append(a)    # see below
to
    while b < n:
        result.append(b)    # see below
