Clojure – Project Euler Problem 2

by Vijay Kiran

This post is the part of the series Solving Project Euler’s problems with Clojure.

Here’s the Problem 2

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:
1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, …
Find the sum of all the even-valued terms in the sequence which do not exceed four million (4000000).

;; fib-seq method from the clojure wiki
(defn fib-seq []
  ((fn rfib [a b] 
       (cons a (lazy-seq (rfib b (+ a b)))))
    1 2))
 
(reduce + (take-while #(< % 4000000) (filter even? (fib-seq))))
