509. Fibonacci Number

Description

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.

Solutions

Solution 1

/**
 * Time complexity : O(2^N), The amount of operations needed, for each level
 *     of recursion, grows exponentially as the depth approaches N.
 * Space complexity : O(N), We need space proportionate to N to account for 
 *    the max size of the stack, in memory.
