Work Step by Step

# 15.2 (Fibonacci numbers) Rewrite the fib function in Listing 15.2 using iterations. # (Hint: To compute fib(n) without recursion, you need to obtain fib(n - 2) # and fib(n - 1) first.) Let f0 and f1 denote the two previous Fibonacci numbers. # The current Fibonacci number would then be f0 + f1. The algorithm can be # described as follows: # f0 = 0 # For fibs(0) # f1 = 1 # For fib(1) # for i in range(2, n + 1): # currentFib = f0 + f1 # f0 = f1 # f1 = currentFib # # After the loop, currentFib is fib(n) # Write a test program that prompts the user to enter an index and displays its # Fibonacci number. n = eval(input("Enter a number: ")) f0 = 0 f1 = 1 fib = 0 for i in range(2, n + 1): fib = f0 + f1 f0 = f1 f1 = fib print("The Fibonacci of", n, "is", fib)
