509. Fibonacci Number

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

Example 2:

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

Example 3:

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

Note:

0 ≤ N ≤ 30.

// Top-Down Dynamic Programming with Memoization
int helper(int N, vector<int>& memo) { // time: O(N); space: O(N)
    if (N < 2) return N;
    if (memo[N] != -1) return memo[N];
    memo[N] = helper(N - 1, memo) + helper(N - 2, memo);
    return memo[N];
}
int fib(int N) {
    vector<int> memo(N + 1, -1);
    return helper(N, memo);
}
