    Can You Solve This Combinatorics Problem Involving Arrangements of X and Y?

    given a chain of n terms with each term either being x or y, how many arrangements are there such that you don't have any two terms being x next to each other. for example if n= 5 (x,y,y,y,x) ; (x,y,x,y,x) are acceptable while (y,x,x,y,x) is not acceptable. Generalize this result for...
