Fibonacci Numbers. code example

Example 1: 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

Example 2: fibonacci sequence

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ...
