>>> let i = 0;
>>> let res = 0;
>>> while (i < 5) { let i = i + 1; let res = res + i;}

To run a monkey-script, use monkey command with filename of the script as the only argument i.e monkey script.mon.
$ monkey ./samples/fibonacii.mon
calculate nth fibonacii number :
--------------------------------
enter n: 10
result = 55
Note: monkey-script filename must have .mon extension.
