Algorithm Implementation/Mathematics/Fibonacci Number Program

Fibonacci is similar to a "hello world" for many functional programming languages, since it can involve paradigms like pattern matching, memoization, and bog-standard tail recursion (which is equivalent to iteration). However, iteration or tail-recursion in linear time is only the first step: more clever exponentiation runs in logarithmic time.

Although the Binet/Lucas formula is technically also exponentiation, ita use of floating-point numbers makes it less attractive than the matrix-based solution. In addition, the above discussion of complexity and indeed most of the code here assumes that both addition and multiplication are done in a single step, which is not the case for big, exponentially-growing numbers easily created by fibonacci calculation.

C[edit | edit source]

An explanation of many of the following above can be found in nayuki's post.

Recursive version[edit | edit source]

unsigned int fib(unsigned int n) {
    // This is exactly the same as a ternary expression
    if (n < 2)
        return n;
    else
        return fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2);
}

Tail recursive version[edit | edit source]

// C++ default arguments used. If implemented in C, call with fib(n, 0, 1) instead.
unsigned int fib(unsigned int n, unsigned int acc = 0, unsigned int prev = 1) {
    if (n < 1)
        return acc;
    else
        return fib(n - 1, prev + acc, acc);
}

Using Binet's formula[edit | edit source]

#include <math.h>

const static double phi = (1 + sqrt(5)) / 2;
long fib(unsigned int n) {
    return (pow(phi, n) - pow(1 - phi, n)) / sqrt(5);
}

Iterative version[edit | edit source]

unsigned int fib(unsigned int n) {
    unsigned int i = 0, j = 1, t;
    if (n == 0)
        return 0;
    for (k = 1; k < n; ++k) {
        t = i + j;
        i = j;
        j = t;
    }
    return j;
}

Alternate iterative version[edit | edit source]

// This version is more "parallel" in the sense of a more unrolled loop.
unsigned int fib(int n) {
    unsigned int i = 0, j = 1, k = 1;
    for (; n >= 3; n -= 3) {
        i = j + k;
        j = i + k;
        k = i + j;
    }
    return n == 0 ? i :
           n == 1 ? j :
           k;
}

Matrix exponentiation by squaring[edit | edit source]

// A 2x2 matrix: m00, m01; m10, m11.
typedef struct mat22_s {
    unsigned int m00, m01, m10, m11;
} mat22_t;

// Matrix multiplication.
inline static mat22_t mat22_mul(mat22_t a, mat22_t b) {
    return (mat22_t){
        a.m00 * b.m00 + a.m01 * b.m10, a.m00 * b.m01 + a.m01 * b.m11,
        a.m10 * b.m00 + a.m11 * b.m10, a.m10 * b.m01 + a.m11 * b.m11};
}

// This is a less concise version written for clarity. The compiler should be able to optimize the boilerplate out.
unsigned int fib(unsigned int n) {
    // Matrix holds F(N-1), F(N); F(N), F(N+1).
    // This is an identity matrix, also the 0th power of matrix.
    mat22_t result = {1, 0, 0, 1};
    mat22_t matrix = {1, 1, 1, 0};
    for (; n > 0; n /= 2) {
        if (n % 2 == 1) {
            result = mat22_mul(matrix, result);
        }
        matrix = mat22_mul(matrix, matrix);
    }
    return result.m10;
}

Matrix exponentiation, compact[edit | edit source]

// A moderately compact version of the matrix calculation.
unsigned int fib(unsigned int n) {
    // [a b] is "result"; [c d] is "matrix".
    unsigned int a = 1, b = 0, c = 0, d = 1, t;
    if (n == 0)
        return 0;
    n = n - 1;
    while (n > 0) {
        if (n % 2 == 1) {
            t = d * (b + a) + c * b;
            a = d * b + c * a;
            b = t;
        }
        t = d * (2 * c + d);
        c = c * c + d * d;
        d = t;
        n = n / 2;
    }
    return a + b;
}

A similar alternative is based on Lucas numbers.

Matrix-derived fast doubling[edit | edit source]

// Nayuki's fast doubling code. Runs from high to low bits.
#include <limits.h>

static inline unsigned int log2i(unsigned int n) {
#if defined(__has_builtin) && __has_builtin(__builtin_clz)
    return sizeof (unsigned int) * CHAR_BIT - __builtin_clz(n) - 1;
#else
    return sizeof (unsigned int) * CHAR_BIT - 1; // pessimistic guess
#endif
}

unsigned int fib(unsigned int n) {
    // Two numbers for iteration. At the end, a = F(N) and b = F(N+1).
    unsigned int a = 0, b = 1;
    // log2i is not reliable for n = 0. We know better.
    unsigned int mask = n == 0 ? 0 : 1 << log2i(n);

    for (; mask > 0; mask /= 2) {
        // F(2k)   = F(k) * (2 * F(k+1) + F(k))
        unsigned int new_a = a * (b * 2 - a);
        // F(2k+1) = F(k+1)**2 + F(k)**2
        unsigned int new_b = a * a + b * b;
        a = new_a;  
        b = new_b;
        if (n & mask) {
             new_b = a + b;
             a = b;
             b = new_b;
        }
    }
    return a;
}

A bit more efficient[edit | edit source]

  function F(n: integer): integer;
  begin
    Result:=Round(Power((1+sqrt(5))/2, n)/sqrt(5));

Note that Power is usually defined in Math, which is not included by default.

For most compilers it's possible to improve performance by using the Math.IntPower instead of the Math.Power.
