Write an HP-42S program that computes the nth Fibonacci number ( 0 < n < 51 ) using nine steps or less, not including LBL and END. Of course, for this mini-challenge byte-count is less relevant than number of steps.
My particular application requires n in the range from 1 to 20 at most, so the above routine is ok for me. However, programs that work for n = 0 up to the largest possible argument on both the HP-42S and Free42 are welcome as well, no matter if longer than nine or even nineteen steps.

Have fun!
