Given a number ‘n’, how to check if n is a Fibonacci number. First few Fibonacci numbers are 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 141, ..
Examples :
Input : 8
Output : Yes
Input : 34
Output : Yes
Input : 41
Output : No
Following is an interesting property about Fibonacci numbers that can also be used to check if a given number is Fibonacci or not.
A number is Fibonacci if and only if one or both of (5*n2 + 4) or (5*n2 – 4) is a perfect square (Source: Wiki).
CPP
#include <iostream>
#include <math.h>
using namespace std;
bool isPerfectSquare( int x)
{
int s = sqrt (x);
return (s * s == x);
}
bool isFibonacci( int n)
{
return isPerfectSquare(5 * n * n + 4) || isPerfectSquare(5 * n * n - 4);
}
int main()
{
for ( int i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
isFibonacci(i) ? cout << i << " is a Fibonacci Number \n"
: cout << i << " is a not Fibonacci Number \n";
return 0;
}
|
Output: 1 is a Fibonacci Number
2 is a Fibonacci Number
3 is a Fibonacci Number
4 is a not Fibonacci Number
5 is a Fibonacci Number
6 is a not Fibonacci Number
7 is a not Fibonacci Number
8 is a Fibonacci Number
9 is a not Fibonacci Number
10 is a not Fibonacci Number
Time complexity: O(logn)
As sqrt() function takes O(logn) time.
Auxiliary space: O(1)
As constant extra space is used.
