You can start by using Google  or Wikipedia to get basic definitions of
things like "Fibonacci sequence". It has to do with mathematics or something?

That is the file extention for a Python Script. The file extension for a BASIC
script is BAS (Fibonacci.bas),  for a Perl script is PL (Fibonacci.pl), for a
Scheme script is SCM (Fibonacci.scm), for a Logo script is LG (Fibonacci.lg)
