(Toggle Plain Text)

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
        int n = 1000;
        double first = 0;
        double second = 1;
        cout<<first<<"    "<<second<<"    ";

        while (n--)
                {
                        double third = first + second;
                        first = second;
                        second = third;
                        cout<<third<<"    ";
                }
}

so if anyone can "convert" this to python it would be appreciated

This is a rather half-baked thread, since by far the slowest performer will be the output to the display and it is part of the loop. So go back and do your homework!
