Program for Fibonacci numbers

Discuss(260+)

The Fibonacci numbers are the numbers in the following integer sequence.
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, ……..

In mathematical terms, the sequence Fn of Fibonacci numbers is defined by the recurrence relation

F_n = F_n-1 + F_n-2

with seed values

F₀ = 0 and F₁ = 1.

Given a number n, print n-th Fibonacci Number.

Examples:

Input  : n = 2
Output : 1

Input  : n = 9
Output : 34

Write a function int fib(int n) that returns F_n. For example, if n = 0, then fib() should return 0. If n = 1, then it should return 1. For n > 1, it should return F_n-1 + F_n-2

For n = 9
Output:34

The following are different methods to get the nth Fibonacci number.

Method 1 (Use recursion)
A simple method that is a direct recursive implementation mathematical recurrence relation is given above.

C++

// Fibonacci Series using Recursion
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
int fib(int n)
{
    if (n <= 1)
        return n;
    return fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2);
}
 
int main()
{
    int n = 9;
    cout << fib(n);
    getchar();
    return 0;
}

C

// Fibonacci Series using Recursion
#include <stdio.h>
int fib(int n)
{
    if (n <= 1)
        return n;
    return fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2);
}
 
int main()
{
    int n = 9;
    printf("%d", fib(n));
    getchar();
    return 0;
}

Java

// Fibonacci Series using Recursion
import java.io.*;
class fibonacci {
    static int fib(int n)
    {
        if (n <= 1)
            return n;
        return fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2);
    }
 
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        int n = 9;
        System.out.println(fib(n));
    }
}
/* This code is contributed by Rajat Mishra */

Python3

# Fibonacci series using recursion
def fibonacci(n):
    if n <= 1:
        return n
    return fibonacci(n-1) + fibonacci(n-2)
 
 
if __name__ == "__main__":
    n = 9
    print(fibonacci(n))

C#

// C# program for Fibonacci Series 
// using Recursion
using System; 
 
public class GFG 
{ 
    public static int Fib(int n) 
    { 
        if (n <= 1) 
        { 
            return n; 
        } 
        else
        { 
            return Fib(n - 1) + Fib(n - 2); 
        } 
    } 
         
    // driver code
    public static void Main(string[] args) 
    { 
        int n = 9;
        Console.Write(Fib(n)); 
    } 
}

PHP

<?php
// Fibonacci Series 
// using Recursion
 
// function returns 
// the Fibonacci number
function fib($n)
{
    if ($n <= 1)
        return $n;
    return fib($n - 1) + 
           fib($n - 2);
}
 
// Driver Code
$n = 9;
echo fib($n);
 
// This code is contributed by aj_36
?>

Javascript

<script>
//Fibonacci Series using Recursion
    let n = 9;
     
    // function returns the Fibonacci number
    function fib(n) {
    if (n <= 1)
        return n;
    return fib(n-1) + fib(n-2);
}
  
    //function call
    document.write(fib(n));
//This code is contributed by Surbhi Tyagi
</script>

Output

Time Complexity: Exponential, as every function calls two other functions.
Auxiliary space complexity: O(n), as the maximum depth of the recursion tree is n.

If the original recursion tree were to be implemented then this would have been the tree but now for n times the recursion function is called

Original tree for recursion

                          fib(5)   
                     /                \
               fib(4)                fib(3)   
             /        \              /       \ 
         fib(3)      fib(2)         fib(2)   fib(1)
        /    \       /    \        /      \
  fib(2)   fib(1)  fib(1) fib(0) fib(1) fib(0)
  /     \
fib(1) fib(0)

Optimized tree for recursion for code above

fib(5)

fib(4)

fib(3)

fib(2)

fib(1)

Extra Space: O(n) if we consider the function call stack size, otherwise O(1).

Method 2: (Use Dynamic Programming)
We can avoid the repeated work done in method 1 by storing the Fibonacci numbers calculated so far.

C++

// C++ program for Fibonacci Series  
// using Dynamic Programming 
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
class GFG{
     
public:
int fib(int n)
{
     
    // Declare an array to store 
    // Fibonacci numbers.
    // 1 extra to handle 
    // case, n = 0 
    int f[n + 2]; 
    int i;
 
    // 0th and 1st number of the 
    // series are 0 and 1
    f[0] = 0;
    f[1] = 1;
 
    for(i = 2; i <= n; i++)
    {
         
       //Add the previous 2 numbers 
       // in the series and store it
       f[i] = f[i - 1] + f[i - 2];
    }
    return f[n];
    }
};
 
// Driver code
int main ()
{
    GFG g;
    int n = 9;
     
    cout << g.fib(n);
    return 0;
}

  {
      /* Add the previous 2 numbers in the series

      f[i] = f[i-1] + f[i-2];
  }
 
  return f[n];
}
 
int main ()
{
  int n = 9;
  printf("%d", fib(n));
  getchar();
  return 0;
}

Method 3: (Space Optimized Method 2)
We can optimize the space used in method 2 by storing the previous two numbers only because that is all we need to get the next Fibonacci number in series.

C++

// Fibonacci Series using Space Optimized Method
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
int fib(int n)
{
    int a = 0, b = 1, c, i;
    if( n == 0)
        return a;
    for(i = 2; i <= n; i++)
    {
       c = a + b;
       a = b;
       b = c;
    }
    return b;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int n = 9;
     
    cout << fib(n);
    return 0;
}

  for (i = 2; i <= n; i++)
  {
     c = a + b;
     a = b;
     b = c;
  }
  return b;
}
 
int main ()
{
  int n = 9;
  printf("%d", fib(n));
  getchar();
  return 0;
}

Java

    {

        if (n == 0)
            return a;
        for (int i = 2; i <= n; i++)
        {
            c = a + b;
            a = b;
            b = c;
        }
        return b;

Time Complexity: O(n)
Extra Space: O(1)

Method 4: Using power of the matrix {{1, 1}, {1, 0}}
This is another O(n) that relies on the fact that if we n times multiply the matrix M = {{1,1},{1,0}} to itself (in other words calculate power(M, n)), then we get the (n+1)th Fibonacci number as the element at row and column (0, 0) in the resultant matrix.
The matrix representation gives the following closed expression for the Fibonacci numbers:

$\begin{bmatrix}1 & 1 \\0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}^n = \begin{bmatrix}F_{n+1} & F_n \\F_n & F_{n+1} \end{bmatrix}$

Output

Time Complexity: O(Logn)
Auxiliary Space: O(Logn) if we consider the function call stack size, otherwise O(1).

Method 6: (O(Log n) Time)
Below is one more interesting recurrence formula that can be used to find n’th Fibonacci Number in O(Log n) time.

If n is even then k = n/2:
F(n) = [2*F(k-1) + F(k)]*F(k)

If n is odd then k = (n + 1)/2
F(n) = F(k)*F(k) + F(k-1)*F(k-1)

How does this formula work?
The formula can be derived from the above matrix equation.

$\begin{bmatrix}1 & 1 \\0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}^n = \begin{bmatrix}F_{n+1} & F_n \\F_n & F_{n+1} \end{bmatrix}$

Taking determinant on both sides, we get 

(-1)ⁿ = F_n+1F_n-1 - F_n² 
 
Moreover, since AⁿA^m = A^n+m for any square matrix A, 
the following identities can be derived (they are obtained 
from two different coefficients of the matrix product)

F_mF_n + F_m-1F_n-1 = F_{m+n-1         ---------------------------(1)}

By putting n = n+1 in equation(1),
F_mF_n+1 + F_m-1F_n = F_{m+n             --------------------------(2)}

Putting m = n in equation(1).
F_2n-1 = F_n² + F_n-1²
Putting m = n in equation(2)

F_2n = (F_n-1 + F_n+1)F_n = (2F_n-1 + F_n)F_n (Source: Wiki)   --------
( By putting Fn+1 = Fn + Fn-1 )
To get the formula to be proved, we simply need to do the following 
If n is even, we can put k = n/2 
If n is odd, we can put k = (n+1)/2

Below is the implementation of the above idea.

          n & 1
            ? fib(k) * fib(k) + fib(k - 1) * fib(k - 1)
            : (2 * fib(k - 1) + fib(k)) * fib(k);
 
        return f[n];
      }

      var n = 9;
      document.write(fib(n));

Output

Time Complexity: O(Log n), as we divide the problem in half in every recursive call.
Auxiliary Space: O(n)

Method 7: (Another approach(Using Binet’s formula))
In this method, we directly implement the formula for the nth term in the Fibonacci series.
F_n = {[(√5 + 1)/2] ^ n} / √5

Note: Above Formula gives correct result only upto for n<71. Because as we move forward from n>=71 , rounding error becomes significantly large . Although , using floor function instead of round function will give correct result for n=71 . But after from n=72 , it also fails.

Example: For N=72 , Correct result is 498454011879264 but above formula gives 498454011879265.
