Mathias Bynens f2e5e26af3 Avoid confusing prototype methods for static methods
Correct: `Array.from()` (it’s a static method)
Incorrect: `Array.join()` (doesn’t exist; it’s a prototype method)

This patch uses the common `#` syntax to denote `.prototype.`.

fibonacciUntilNum

Generates an array, containing the Fibonacci sequence, up until the nth term.

Create an empty array of the specific length, initializing the first two values (0 and 1). Use Array.prototype.reduce() to add values into the array, using the sum of the last two values, except for the first two. Uses a mathematical formula to calculate the length of the array required.

const fibonacciUntilNum = num => {
  let n = Math.ceil(Math.log(num * Math.sqrt(5) + 1 / 2) / Math.log((Math.sqrt(5) + 1) / 2));
  return Array.from({ length: n }).reduce(
    (acc, val, i) => acc.concat(i > 1 ? acc[i - 1] + acc[i - 2] : i),
    []
  );
};
fibonacciUntilNum(10); // [ 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 ]
