Language: C#

Problem Statement

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).

Examples

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

Solution

public class Solution 
{
    private Dictionary<int, int> fibs = new Dictionary<int, int>
    {
        {0,0},
        {1,1}
    };
    
    public int Fib(int n) 
    {        
        if (fibs.ContainsKey(n))
        {
            return fibs[n];
        }
        
        var f =  Fib(n-1) + Fib (n-2);
        fibs[n] = f;
        
        return f;
    }
}

Complexity

Time Complexity: O(N)
Space Complexity: O(N)

Notes

I have used Memoization/Dynamic Programming method in this solution. It is also possible to perform the same with plain old for/while loop or recursion.
