The Catalan number of 5 is 42
For doing the opposite you can go the naive or brute force way: calculate catalan numbers until it match (do not forget to handle bad inputs).I am thinking in a better approach but the factorial is dragging me off.Offtopic: cool so much recent interest on mathematics here.

A loop that goes through all of them would be possible, but quite slow :S

ooh, recursive functions are always fun. I always like adding a answer == 42 type thing. ;-) Anyway, does this handle negatives correctly?
def fib(n): if n == 0: return 0 if n == 1: return 1 return fib(n-1)+fib(n-2)

No graphmastur, the negative numbers is about the catalan program, not the fibonacci.

In fact, any sequence, a sequence can't have it's -1th member xD
