    trouble with Fibonacci

    Hi, I'm pretty new to java and right now, I feel like one of those aliens from Mars Attacks whos' heads explode when listening to country music. This "simple" program I am supposed to write is gnawing at my soul and I want to say it is impossible to do, but I think I just need a little guidance.
    I am supposed to write a program that asks the user to pick the Fibonacci number he wants, and the program prints out that value. If the user puts in a negative value, the program should print out an error message and ask for another number.
    This is what I have thus far.
    What should I do...or what am I doing wrong? Thanks


    import java.util.Scanner;

    class Fibtry {
    public static void main (String[] args) {

    Scanner input=new Scanner (System.in);

    long var1 = 0;
    long var2 = 1;
    System.out.println("Compute which Fibonacci number: ");
    var1=input.nextInt();
    {
    long var3 = var1;
    var1 += var2;
    var2 = var3;
    System.out.println("Fibonacci number is equal to " + var1);
    }

    }
    }
