Keeping those terms avoids # both exponential recursion and a full table. # # METHOD # Maintain F(i) and F(i+1), then advance the pair. Return F(n) after n advances. # # COMPLEXITY # O(n) time and O(1) auxiliary space, under fixed-width arithmetic. # # CONTRACT # n >= 0, with F(0)=0 and F(1)=1. Use n <= 45 for every intermediate value to fit signed # 32-bit integers in this version. # 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 # Python 3.9+: automatic lengths, native lists, arbitrary-precision arithmetic, and # bisect_left for LIS. Invalid scalar/shape inputs raise ValueError. Integer element types # and sorted/tree invariants remain caller preconditions. # # EXAMPLE # Expected return: 0. # Run: python example.py # Tests for this exact source artifact run before publication. The accompanying source # archive includes unit cases, runtime results, and source hashes. def alg_require(condition): if not condition: raise ValueError("invalid algorithm input; see contract") def alg_size(n): alg_require(0 <= n <= 4000000) return n def fibonacci(n: int) -> int: alg_require(type(n) is int and -2147483648 <= n <= 2147483647) alg_require(n >= 0 and n <= 1000000) alg_require(n >= 0 and n <= 45) a: int = 0 b: int = 1 next_value: int = 0 i: int = 0 while i < n: next_value = a + b a = b b = next_value i += 1 return a n = 0 result = fibonacci(n) print(result) |
