Problem 2: Even Fibonacci numbers

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.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	var total int
	total = 0
	fibbCalc(&total, 2, 1)
	fmt.Println(total)
}

func fibbCalc(sum *int, x int, y int) {
	if (x & 0x1) == 0 {
		*sum += x
	}

	if x >= 4000000 {
		return y
	}
	return fibbCalc(sum, x+y, x)
}
