"""
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_number
The sequence Fn of Fibonacci numbers is defined by the recurrence relation:

F_{n} = F_{n-1} + F_{n-2}

with seed values

F_{1} = 1, F_{2} = 1

or

F_{0} = 0, F_{1} = 1

Purpose: generate a list of the first N fibonacci numbers,
0 being the first number. Then, apply the map function and
a lambda expression to cube each fibonacci number and print
the list.

INPUT: integer N
Contraints 0 <= N <= 15
e.g. 5

OUTPUT: A list containing cubes of the first N fibonacci numbers.
e.g. [ 0, 1, 1, 8 ,27]
