fibonacci

# WARNING: this program assumes the
# fibonacci sequence starts at 1
def fib(num):
	"""return the number at index `num` in the fibonacci sequence"""
    if num <= 2:
        return 1
    return fib(num - 1) + fib(num - 2)

# method 2: use `for` loop
def fib2(num):
	a, b = 1, 1
	for _ in range(num - 1):
		a, b = b, a + b
	return a


print(fib(6))  # 8
print(fib2(6))  # same result, but much faster

fibonacci

# Easy fibonacci exercise
# Method #1
def fibonacci(n):
    # 1th: 0
    # 2th: 1
    # 3th: 1 ...
    if n == 1:
        return 0
    elif n == 2:
        return 1
    else:
        return fibonacci(n - 1) + fibonacci(n - 2)

# Method #2
def fibonacci2(n):
    if n == 0: return 0
    n1 = 1
    n2 = 1
    # (1, n - 2) because start by 1, 2, 3... not 0, 1, 1, 2, 3....
    for i in range(1, n - 2):
        n1 += n2
        n2 = n1 - n2
    return n1


print(fibonacci(13))
# return the nth element in the fibonacci sequence
