DOCUMENT(); loadMacros( 'PGstandard.pl', 'MathObjects.pl', 'PGML.pl', 'PGcourse.pl' ); TEXT(beginproblem());	Initialization:
Context("Numeric"); @seq = (); $seq[0] = 1; $seq[1] = 1; foreach my $i (2..6) { $seq[$i] = $seq[$i-1] + $seq[$i-2]; } $answer_string = join(', ',@seq); $answer_cmp = Compute("$answer_string")->cmp(ordered=>1);	Setup: We create an empty array @seq and then fill it with scalars using direct assignment and a foreach loop. Since the entries in the array @seq do not have commas between them, we create a Perl string $answer that joins the entries of the array @seq by a comma followed by a space ", ". Then, we make this string a MathObject by putting Compute() around it. Since the answer is a MathObject List, which is by default unordered, we must specify that the answer checker use ordered=>1
BEGIN_PGML If [` s_1 = [$seq[0]] `], [` s_2 = [$seq[1]] `], and [` s_n = s_{n-1} + s_{n-2} `], find the first seven terms of this sequence, including [` s_1 `] and [` s_2 `]. Enter your answer as a comma separated list of numbers. Sequence = [_____]{$answer_cmp} [@ helpLink('numbers') @]* END_PGML	Main Text:
