Detailed Description

Faster computation of Fibonacci series.

An efficient way to calculate nth fibonacci number faster and simpler than \(O(n\log n)\) method of matrix exponentiation This works by using both recursion and dynamic programming. as 93rd fibonacci exceeds 19 digits, which cannot be stored in a single long long variable, we can only use it till 92nd fibonacci we can use it for 10000th fibonacci etc, if we implement bigintegers. This algorithm works with the fact that nth fibonacci can easily found if we have already found n/2th or (n+1)/2th fibonacci It is a property of fibonacci similar to matrix exponentiation.

MAX

#define MAX   93

maximum number that can be computed - The result after 93 cannot be stored in a uint64_t data type.

Algorithm

                         {
    static uint64_t f1 = 1,
                    f2 = 1;  // using static keyword will retain the values of
                             // f1 and f2 for the next function call.
 
    if (n <= 2)
        return f2;
    if (n >= 93) {
        std::cerr
            << "Cannot compute for n>93 due to limit of 64-bit integers\n";
        return 0;
    }
 
    uint64_t temp = f2;  // we do not need temp to be static
    f2 += f1;
    f1 = temp;
 
    return f2;
