Write a python code that checks Fibonacci sequence with explanation.

A 
Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones. It typically starts with 0 and 1. So, the sequence goes like:
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ...
Now, if you are given a list and want to check if it forms a Fibonacci sequence, you need to verify that for every element starting from the third one, the rule
list[i] == list[i-1] + list[i-2] holds true.
To check this, you can iterate through the list starting from index 2 and validate the condition. If at any point the rule breaks, it is
not a Fibonacci sequence.
This logic is simple and efficient, especially for small to medium-sized lists. If the list has fewer than three elements, we can directly say it is a Fibonacci sequence, because there aren't enough numbers to violate the rule.
Below is the Python code to check if a given list follows the Fibonacci sequence:
def is_fibonacci_sequence(seq):
   if len(seq) andlt; 3:
       return True  # A sequence with less than 3 numbers is considered Fibonacci
   for i in range(2, len(seq)):
       if seq[i] != seq[i-1] + seq[i-2]:
           return False
   return True
# Example usage
sequence1 = [0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8]
sequence2 = [2, 5, 7, 12, 19]
print("Sequence 1 is Fibonacci:", is_fibonacci_sequence(sequence1))
print("Sequence 2 is Fibonacci:", is_fibonacci_sequence(sequence2))
Explanation of Code:
If the list has fewer than three elements, return True.
and For each number starting from index 2, check if it equals the sum of the two preceding numbers.
and If all conditions pass, the list is a 
Fibonacci sequence; otherwise, it is not.
