Project Euler 2: Even Fibonacci numbers

Problem:

Each new term in the Fibonacci sequence is generated by adding the previous two terms. By starting with 1 and 2, the first 10 terms will be:

1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, ...

By considering the terms in the Fibonacci sequence whose values do not exceed four million, find the sum of the even-valued terms.
This problem was originally featured on Project Euler.

Algorithm:

Here we only need to learn how to compute Fibonacci numbers.
