Solution Review: Fibonacci Series

Explore the step-by-step solution to the Fibonacci series using Python functions, loops, and recursion. Understand how to check input validity, iterate through the sequence, and return correct Fibonacci numbers, enhancing your problem-solving skills with practical coding techniques.

We'll cover the following...

Solution

Let’s explore the solution to the problem of the Fibonacci series.

Python 3.10.4
def fib(n):
    # The first and second values will always be fixed
    first = 0
    second = 1
    if n < 1:
        return -1
    if n == 1:
        return first
    if n == 2:
        return second
    count = 3  # Starting from 3 because we already know the first two values
    while count <= n:
        fib_n = first + second
        first = second
        second = fib_n
        count += 1  # Increment count in each iteration
    return fib_n
n = 7
print(fib(n))

Explanation

Here’s a line-by-line explanation of the code for the Fibonacci Series problem:

  • Line 1: Defines the function fib that takes one argument n, which is the position in the Fibonacci sequence. ...
