LeetCode 509. Fibonacci Number

Description

https://leetcode.com/problems/fibonacci-number/

The Fibonacci numbers, commonly denoted F(n) form a sequence, called the Fibonacci sequence, such that each number is the sum of the two preceding ones, starting from 0 and 1. That is,

F(0) = 0, F(1) = 1
F(n) = F(n - 1) + F(n - 2), for n > 1.

Given n, calculate F(n).

Example 1:

Input: n = 2
Output: 1
Explanation: F(2) = F(1) + F(0) = 1 + 0 = 1.

Example 2:

Input: n = 3
Output: 2
Explanation: F(3) = F(2) + F(1) = 1 + 1 = 2.

Example 3:

Input: n = 4
Output: 3
Explanation: F(4) = F(3) + F(2) = 2 + 1 = 3.

Constraints:

  • 0 <= n <= 30

Explanation

Implement recursion as fibonacci formula.

Python Solution

class Solution:
    def fib(self, n: int) -> int:
        if n == 0:
            return 0

        if n == 1:
            return 1
        
        return self.fib(n - 1) + self.fib(n - 2)
  • Time Complexity: ~2^N
