Fibonacci corrections #10

Description
The results for the Nth number in the sequence are not clear, unless the start of the sequence begins with the Nth number of 0, i.e.
N=0, 0
N=1, 1
N=2, 1
N=3, 2
N=4, 3
N=5, 5
N=6, 8
N=7, 13
N=8, 21
N=9, 34
N=10, 55
etc.
The description seems to confuse the Fibonacci sequence with a factorial sequence, when it says:
Remember that a fibonacci sequence: 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,... starts off with a
base case checking to see if n = 0 or 1, then it returns 1.
Else it returns fib(n-1)+fib(n+2).
This should read:
Remember that a Fibonacci sequence: 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,... starts off with a
base case checking to see if n = 0 or 1, then it returns n,
else it returns fib(n-1) + fib(n-2).
if n = 0 or 1, then it returns n(not 1)- there is a typo in
fib(n-1)+fib(n+2), it should befib(n-1)+fib(n-2).
Hope this is right and helps to make a correction.
PS, thanks for a great course
