9.2. Climbing steps: Suppose you want to climb up a ladder with n steps. At each time you raise your foot, you may opt to climb up one or two rungs. In how many different ways can you climb up that ladder? For example, you can climb a four-rung ladder in five different ways:

  • Taking two steps first, then one, and then one
  • Taking one step first, then two, and then one
  • Taking one step first, then another one, and finishing with two
