Given two integers A and B which are the first two terms of the series and another integer N. The task is to find the Nth number using Fibonacci rule i.e. fib(i) = fib(i – 1) + fib(i – 2)
Example: 
 

Input: A = 2, B = 3, N = 4 
Output:
The series will be 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, … 
And the 4th element is 8.
Input: A = 5, B = 7, N = 10 
Output: 343 
 

 

Approach: Initialize variable sum = 0 that stores sum of the previous two values. Now, run a loop from i = 2 to N and for each index update value of sum = A + B and A = B, B = sum. Then finally, return the sum which is the required Nth element.
Below is the implementation of the above approach: 
 

C++




// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to return the Nth number of
// the modified Fibonacci series where
// A and B are the first two terms
int findNthNumber(int A, int B, int N)
{
 
    // To store the current element which
    // is the sum of previous two
    // elements of the series
    int sum = 0;
 
    // This loop will terminate when
    // the Nth element is found
    for (int i = 2; i < N; i++) {
        sum = A + B;
 
        A = B;
 
        B = sum;
    }
 
    // Return the Nth element
    return sum;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int A = 5, B = 7, N = 10;
 
    cout << findNthNumber(A, B, N);
 
    return 0;
}

Java




// Java implementation of the approach
import java.util.*;
 
class GFG
{
 
    // Function to return the Nth number of
    // the modified Fibonacci series where
    // A and B are the first two terms
    static int findNthNumber(int A, int B, int N)
    {
 
        // To store the current element which
        // is the sum of previous two
        // elements of the series
        int sum = 0;
 
        // This loop will terminate when
        // the Nth element is found
        for (int i = 2; i < N; i++)
        {
            sum = A + B;
 
            A = B;
 
            B = sum;
        }
 
        // Return the Nth element
        return sum;
    }
 
    // Driver code
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int A = 5, B = 7, N = 10;
 
        System.out.println(findNthNumber(A, B, N));
    }
}
