Grokking the Coding Interview Patterns in Go

Solution: Fibonacci Number

Explore how to compute Fibonacci numbers efficiently by applying mathematical properties and the golden ratio. Understand how Binet’s formula enables a logarithmic time and constant space solution. Learn to implement this optimized approach for coding interviews, improving performance over traditional recursion or dynamic programming.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

The Fibonacci sequence is a famous series of numbers in which each value is created by adding the two preceding numbers. The sequence begins with:

  • F(0)=0F(0) = 0

  • F(1)=1F(1) = 1

From that point on, every term is defined as:

  • F(n)=F(n−1)+F(n−2)F(n) = F(n - 1) + F(n - 2), for any nn greater than 11 ...
