Problem

The Fibonacci numbers, commonly denoted F(n) form a sequence, called the Fibonacci sequence, such that each number is the sum of the two preceding ones, starting from 0 and 1. That is,

F(0) = 0, F(1) = 1 F(n) = F(n - 1) + F(n - 2), for n > 1.

Given n, calculate F(n).

Example 1:

Input: n = 2 Output: 1 Explanation: F(2) = F(1) + F(0) = 1 + 0 = 1.

Example 2:

Input: n = 3 Output: 2 Explanation: F(3) = F(2) + F(1) = 1 + 1 = 2.

Example 3:

Input: n = 4 Output: 3 Explanation: F(4) = F(3) + F(2) = 2 + 1 = 3.

Constraints:

  • 0 <= n <= 30

Solution

class Solution:
    def fib(self, n: int) -> int:
        def fib(n):
            if n <= 1:
                return n
            return fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2)
        return fib(n)
