Problem 232. Project Euler: Problem 2, Sum of even Fibonacci

Created by MathWorks Cody Team

Solve Later

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, ...
By considering the terms in the Fibonacci sequence whose values do not exceed the input value, find the sum of the even-valued terms.

I wanted to use : z = feval(symengine,'numlib::fibonacci',10)
to get the 10th element for example but CODY returns:
Could not check out Symbolic Math Toolbox license.

pas de chance!

You should add test cases where x or x+1 equals an even fibonacci number (either small or large).

Nice problem. I always have problem with big numbers.

I solved the problem until x = 4000000 but x = 97455000 it gives me an error of exceeding the memory(overflow) because the number is too large.
