Difficulty Level : Hard
Last Updated : 15 Mar, 2021

Given a number N. The task is to write a program to find the N-th term in the below series:

0, 2, 1, 3, 1, 5, 2, 7, 3, …

Examples:

Input: N = 5
Output: 1

Input: N = 10
Output: 11

When we look carefully at the series, we find that the series is a mixture of 2 series:

Terms at odd positions in the given series forms fibonacci series.
Terms at even positions in the given series forms a series of prime numbers.

Now, To solve the above-given problem, first check whether the input number N is even or odd.

If it is odd, set N=(N/2) + 1(since there are Two series running parallelly) and find the N^th fibonacci number.
If N is even, simply set N=N/2 and find Nth prime number.

Below is the implementation of above approach:

C++

// CPP program to find N-th term
// in the series
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
#define MAX 1000
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find Nth Prime Number
int NthPrime(int n)
{
    int count = 0;
    for (int i = 2; i <= MAX; i++) {
        int check = 0;
        for (int j = 2; j <= sqrt(i); j++) {
            if (i % j == 0) {
                check = 1;
                break;
            }
        }
        if (check == 0)
            count++;
 
        if (count == n) {
            return i;
            break;
        }
    }
}
 
// Function to find Nth Fibonacci Number
int NthFib(int n)
{
    // Declare an array to store
    // Fibonacci numbers.
    int f[n + 2];
    int i;
 
    // 0th and 1st number of the
    // series are 0 and 1
    f[0] = 0;
    f[1] = 1;
 
    for (i = 2; i <= n; i++) {
        f[i] = f[i - 1] + f[i - 2];
    }
 
    return f[n];
}
 
// Function to find N-th term
// in the series
void findNthTerm(int n)
{
    // If n is even
    if (n % 2 == 0) {
        n = n / 2;
        n = NthPrime(n);
        cout << n << endl;
    }
 
    // If n is odd
    else {
        n = (n / 2) + 1;
        n = NthFib(n - 1);
        cout << n << endl;
    }
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int X = 5;
    findNthTerm(X);
 
    X = 10;
    findNthTerm(X);
 
    return 0;
}
