using System;
// Fast Doubling Fibonacci in C#
//
// PURPOSE
// Fast doubling computes Fibonacci numbers using identities for doubling an index, reducing
// the number of recurrence steps logarithmically.
//
// METHOD
// Read n bits from most significant to least. Derive F(2k) and F(2k+1) from F(k),F(k+1),
// then advance one extra position for a set bit.
//
// COMPLEXITY
// O(log n) arithmetic operations, O(1) auxiliary space under bounded integer arithmetic.
//
// CONTRACT
// 0 <= n <= 45 so all intermediates fit signed 32-bit. Returns F(n), with F(0)=0.
// Public APIs infer array lengths except in C, which accepts pointer/length pairs. Vertex
// counts and matrix dimensions remain explicit. Arrays must contain signed 32-bit integers.
// Sorted order, correct tree topology, and caller-owned data-structure invariants are
// preconditions; checking them on every query would change query complexity.
// Scalar and shape checks are included. Value-range checks are included where needed to
// prevent invalid indexing or nontermination. Allocation sizes are capped at 4,000,000
// workspace entries. Arithmetic outside Python raises an error on 32-bit overflow; Python
// uses arbitrary precision. Native allocation failures propagate. In-place outputs may be
// partly updated after arithmetic failure. These are single-threaded, in-memory
// implementations.
//
// LANGUAGE DETAILS
// C# / .NET 10: ReadOnlySpan<int> inputs, Span<int> outputs, primitive workspace arrays,
// Array.BinarySearch for LIS, and checked integer arithmetic. Invalid arguments and overflow
// throw exceptions.
//
// EXAMPLE
// Expected return: 0.
// Run: Use Program.cs in a net10.0 console project; dotnet run.
// Tests for this exact source artifact run before publication. The accompanying source
// archive includes unit cases, runtime results, and source hashes.
