LUCAS(n)

This function gives the Lucas series of the numbers.
Lucas numbers are similar to the Fibonacci numberss.
It is generated by added the last two numbers in the series.
In $LUCAS(n),n$ is the numbers position, which is used to displaying the numbers in the given range.
The difference between Lucas and Fibonacci numbers are with the first two terms $L_{0}=2$ and $L_{1}=1$ , but $F_{0}=0$ and $F_{1}=1$ .
The Lucas numbers are defined by: $L_{n}={\begin{cases}2&if&n=0\\1&if&n=1\\L_{n-1}+L_{n-2}&if&n>1\end{cases}}$

The sequence of Lucas numbers is 2,1,3,4,7, 11,18,29,......
The relation between Lucas and Fibonacci numbers are: $L_{n}=F_{n}+2F_{n-1}$ and $F_{n}={\frac {L_{n-1}+L_{n+1}}{5}}$

where L is the Lucas series with $L_{n}$ is the nth Lucas number and $F_{n}$ is the nth Fibonacci number.

   This function will give the result as error when  n is nonnumeric or n < 0
