<!-- language-all: lang-java --> # Java, 65 bytes Golfed: n->{int a=1,b=2;for(;n>0;--n){b=a-b;a-=b;}System.out.println(a);} This uses the standard trick of calculating Fibonacci using only two variables to hold the state, but modified to work with subtraction. I am aware that theoretically, `System.out.print()` _should_ work here but in practice it is inconsistent with flushing output and sometimes (often enough to be an issue) will literally print _nothing_ using the Oracle JVM. This function is zero-indexed.
