Recursive Fibonacci memoization

Question

I need some help with a program I\'m writing for my Programming II class at universtiy. The question asks that one calculates the Fibonacci sequence using recursion. One mus

Answer 1

Here is my implementation of recursive fibonacci memoization. Using BigInteger and ArrayList allows to calculate 100th or even larger term. I tried 1000th terms, and result is returned in a matter of milliseconds, here is the code:

    private static List<BigInteger> dict = new ArrayList<BigInteger>();
    public static void printFebonachiRecursion (int num){
    if (num==1){
        printFebonachiRecursion(num-1);
        System.out.printf("Term %d: %d%n",num,1);
        dict.add(BigInteger.ONE);
    }
    else if (num==0){
        System.out.printf("Term %d: %d%n",num,0);
        dict.add(BigInteger.ZERO);
    }
    else {
    printFebonachiRecursion(num-1);
    dict.add(dict.get(num-2).add(dict.get(num-1)));
    System.out.printf("Term %d: %d%n",num,dict.get(num));
    }
}

Output example

printFebonachiRecursion(100);

Term 0: 0
Term 1: 1
Term 2: 1
Term 3: 2
...
Term 98: 135301852344706746049
Term 99: 218922995834555169026
Term 100: 354224848179261915075

Answer 2

#include <stdio.h>
long int A[100]={1,1};
long int fib(int n){
    if (A[n])
    {
        return A[n];
    }
    else
    {
         return A[n]=fib(n-1)+fib(n-2);
    }
}
int main(){
    printf("%ld",fib(30));
}

Answer 3

public static int fib(int n, Map<Integer,Integer> map){

    if(n ==0){
        return 0;
    }

    if(n ==1){
        return 1;
    }

    if(map.containsKey(n)){
        return map.get(n);
    }

    Integer fibForN = fib(n-1,map) + fib(n-2,map);
    map.put(n, fibForN);

    return fibForN; 

}

Similar to most solutions above but using a Map instead.

Answer 4

Might be too old but here is my solution for swift

class Recursion {
    func fibonacci(_ input: Int) {
        var dictioner: [Int: Int] = [:]
        dictioner[0] = 0
        dictioner[1] = 1
       print(fibonacciCal(input, dictioner: &dictioner))
    }

    func fibonacciCal(_ input: Int, dictioner: inout [Int: Int]) -> Int {
        if let va = dictioner[input]{
            return va
        } else {
            let firstPart = fibonacciCal(input-1, dictioner: &dictioner)

            let secondPart = fibonacciCal(input-2, dictioner: &dictioner)

            if dictioner[input] == nil {
                dictioner[input] = firstPart+secondPart
            }

            return firstPart+secondPart
        }
    }
}

// 0,1,1,2,3,5,8
class TestRecursion {
    func testRecursion () {
        let t = Recursion()
        t.fibonacci(3)
    }
}

Answer 5

You need to distinguish between already calculated number and not calculated numbers in the dictionary, which you currently don't: you always recalculate the numbers.

if (n == 0) 
{
  // special case because fib(0) is 0
  return dictionary[0];
}
else 
{
  int f = dictionary[n];
  if (f == 0) {
    // number wasn't calculated yet.
    f = fibonacci(n-1) + fibonacci(n-2);
    dictionary[n] = f;
  }
  return f;
}

Answer 6

This is another way to approach memoization for recursive fibonacci() method using a static array of values -

public static long fibArray[]=new long[50];\\Keep it as large as you need

public static long fibonacci(long n){
long fibValue=0;
if(n==0 ){
    return 0;
}else if(n==1){
    return 1;
}else if(fibArray[(int)n]!=0){
    return fibArray[(int)n];    
}
else{
    fibValue=fibonacci(n-1)+fibonacci(n-2);
    fibArray[(int) n]=fibValue;
    return fibValue;
}
}

Note that this method uses a global(class level) static array fibArray[]. To have a look at the whole code with explanation you can also see the following - http://www.javabrahman.com/gen-java-programs/recursive-fibonacci-in-java-with-memoization/
