Complimenting Fibonacci number coding – iterative and recursive approach, we can improve performance by caching. If you run this
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 | public class RecursiveFibonacci { public int fibonacci(int n) { if (n == 0 || n == 1) return n; System.out.println("evaluating fibonacci(" + n + ")"); return fibonacci(n - 2) + fibonacci(n - 1); } public static void main(String[] args) { int nThfibonacciNo = new RecursiveFibonacci().fibonacci(5); System.out.println(nThfibonacciNo); } } |
Output
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 | evaluating fibonacci(5) evaluating fibonacci(3) evaluating fibonacci(2) evaluating fibonacci(4) evaluating fibonacci(2) evaluating fibonacci(3) evaluating fibonacci(2) 5 |
and you can see “fibonacci(3)” is repeated 2 times, “fibonacci(2)” is repeated 3 times, and so on. If…
