var x=0,
var y=1;
var z;
fib[0] = 0;
fib[1] = 1;
for(i=2; i<=10; i++)
{
alert(x+y);
fib[i]=x+y;
x=y;
z=y;
}
I'm trying to get to generate a simple Fibonacci sequence but there no output. Can anybody let me know what's wrong?
You have never declared fib
to be an array. Use var fib = [];
to solve this.
Also, you're never modifying the y
variable, neither using it.
The code below makes more sense, plus, it doesn't create unused variables:
var i;
var fib = []; // Initialize array!
fib[0] = 0;
fib[1] = 1;
for (i = 2; i <= 10; i++) {
// Next fibonacci number = previous + one before previous
// Translated to JavaScript:
fib[i] = fib[i - 2] + fib[i - 1];
console.log(fib[i]);
}
You should've declared the fib
variable to be an array in the first place (such as var fib = []
or var fib = new Array()
) and I think you're a bit confused about the algorithm.
If you use an array to store the fibonacci sequence, you do not need the other auxiliar variables (x,y,z
) :
var fib = [0, 1];
for(var i=fib.length; i<10; i++) {
fib[i] = fib[i-2] + fib[i-1];
}
console.log(fib);
You should consider the recursive method too (note that this is an optimised version) :
function fib(n, undefined){
if(fib.cache[n] === undefined){
fib.cache[n] = fib(n-1) + fib(n-2);
}
return fib.cache[n];
}
fib.cache = [0, 1, 1];
and then, after you call the fibonacci function, you have all the sequence in the fib.cache
field :
fib(1000);
console.log(fib.cache);
Yet another answer would be to use es6 generator functions.
function* fib() {
var current = a = b = 1;
yield 1;
while (true) {
current = b;
yield current;
b = a + b;
a = current;
}
}
sequence = fib();
sequence.next(); // 1
sequence.next(); // 1
sequence.next(); // 2
// ...
You're not assigning a value to z
, so what do you expect y=z;
to do? Likewise you're never actually reading from the array. It looks like you're trying a combination of two different approaches here... try getting rid of the array entirely, and just use:
// Initialization of x and y as before
for (i = 2; i <= 10; i++)
{
alert(x + y);
z = x + y;
x = y;
y = z;
}
EDIT: The OP changed the code after I'd added this answer. Originally the last line of the loop was y = z;
- and that makes sense if you've initialized z
as per my code.
If the array is required later, then obviously that needs to be populated still - but otherwise, the code I've given should be fine.
The golden ration "phi" ^ n / sqrt(5) is asymptotic to the fibonacci of n, if we round that value up, we indeed get the fibonacci value.
function fib(n) {
let phi = (1 + Math.sqrt(5))/2;
let asymp = Math.pow(phi, n) / Math.sqrt(5);
return Math.round(asymp);
}
fib(1000); // 4.346655768693734e+208 in just 0.62s
This runs faster on large numbers compared to the recursion based solutions.
There is also a generalization of Binet's formula for negative integers:
static float phi = (1.0f + sqrt(5.0f)) / 2.0f;
int generalized_binet_fib(int n) {
return round( (pow(phi, n) - cos(n * M_PI) * pow(phi, -n)) / sqrt(5.0f) );
}
...
for(int i = -10; i < 10; ++i)
printf("%i ", generalized_binet_fib(i));
ty @geeves for the catch, I replaced Math.floor
for Math.round
which seems to get it up to 76 where floating point issues come into play :/ ...
either way, I wouldn't want to be using recursion up and until that point.

If using es6
function fib(n, prev = 0, current = 1) {
return !n ? prev + current : fib(--n, current, prev+current)
}
var f = fib(10)
I just would like to contribute with a tail call optimized version by ES6. It's quite simple;
var fibonacci = (n, f = 0, s = 1) => n === 0 ? f : fibonacci(--n, s, f + s);
console.log(fibonacci(12));
I know this is a bit of an old question, but I realized that many of the answers here are utilizing for loops rather than while loops.
Sometimes, while loops are faster than for loops, so I figured I'd contribute some code that runs the Fibonacci sequence in a while loop as well! Use whatever you find suitable to your needs.
function fib(length) {
var fibArr = [],
i = 0,
j = 1;
fibArr.push(i);
fibArr.push(j);
while (fibArr.length <= length) {
fibArr.push(fibArr[j] + fibArr[i]);
j++;
i++;
}
return fibArr;
};
fib(15);
sparkida, found an issue with your method. If you check position 10, it returns 54 and causes all subsequent values to be incorrect. You can see this appearing here: http://jsfiddle.net/createanaccount/cdrgyzdz/5/
(function() {
function fib(n) {
var root5 = Math.sqrt(5);
var val1 = (1 + root5) / 2;
var val2 = 1 - val1;
var value = (Math.pow(val1, n) - Math.pow(val2, n)) / root5;
return Math.floor(value + 0.5);
}
for (var i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
document.getElementById("sequence").innerHTML += (0 < i ? ", " : "") + fib(i);
}
}());
<div id="sequence">
</div>
You can get some cache to speedup the algorithm...
var tools = {
fibonacci : function(n) {
var cache = {};
// optional seed cache
cache[2] = 1;
cache[3] = 2;
cache[4] = 3;
cache[5] = 5;
cache[6] = 8;
return execute(n);
function execute(n) {
// special cases 0 or 1
if (n < 2) return n;
var a = n - 1;
var b = n - 2;
if(!cache[a]) cache[a] = execute(a);
if(!cache[b]) cache[b] = execute(b);
return cache[a] + cache[b];
}
}
};
Here are examples how to write fibonacci using recursion, generator and reduce.
'use strict'
//------------- using recursion ------------
function fibonacciRecursion(n) {
return (n < 2) ? n : fibonacciRecursion(n - 2) + fibonacciRecursion(n - 1)
}
// usage
for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
console.log(fibonacciRecursion(i))
}
//-------------- using generator -----------------
function* fibonacciGenerator() {
let a = 1,
b = 0
while (true) {
yield b;
[a, b] = [b, a + b]
}
}
// usage
const gen = fibonacciGenerator()
for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
console.log(gen.next().value)
}
//------------- using reduce ---------------------
function fibonacciReduce(n) {
return new Array(n).fill(0)
.reduce((prev, curr) => ([prev[0], prev[1]] = [prev[1], prev[0] + prev[1]], prev), [0, 1])[0]
}
// usage
for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
console.log(fibonacciReduce(i))
}
Another easy way to achieve this:
// declare the array starting with the first 2 values of the fibonacci sequence
var fibonacci = [0,1];
function listFibonacci() {
// starting at array index 1, and push current index + previous index to the array
for (var i = 1; i < 10; i++) {
fibonacci.push(fibonacci[i] + fibonacci[i - 1]);
}
console.log(fibonacci);
}
listFibonacci();
You Could Try This Fibonacci Solution Here
var a = 0;
console.log(a);
var b = 1;
console.log(b);
var c;
for (i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
c = a + b;
console.log(c);
a = b + c;
console.log(a);
b = c + a;
console.log(b);
}
fibonacci 1,000 ... 10,000 ... 100,000
Some answers run into issues when trying to calculate large fibonacci numbers. Others are approximating numbers using phi. This answer will show you how to calculate a precise series of large fibonacci numbers without running into limitations set by JavaScript's floating point implementation.
Below, we generate the first 1,000 fibonacci numbers in a few milliseconds. Later, we'll do 100,000!
const { fromInt, toString, add } =
Bignum
const bigfib = function* (n = 0)
{
let a = fromInt (0)
let b = fromInt (1)
let _
while (n >= 0) {
yield toString (a)
_ = a
a = b
b = add (b, _)
n = n - 1
}
}
console.time ('bigfib')
const seq = Array.from (bigfib (1000))
console.timeEnd ('bigfib')
// 25 ms
console.log (seq.length)
// 1001
console.log (seq)
// [ 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, ... 995 more elements ]
Let's see the 1,000th fibonacci number
console.log (seq [1000])
// 43466557686937456435688527675040625802564660517371780402481729089536555417949051890403879840079255169295922593080322634775209689623239873322471161642996440906533187938298969649928516003704476137795166849228875
10,000
This solution scales quite nicely. We can calculate the first 10,000 fibonacci numbers in under 2 seconds. At this point in the sequence, the numbers are over 2,000 digits long – way beyond the capacity of JavaScript's floating point numbers. Still, our result includes precise values without making approximations.
console.time ('bigfib')
const seq = Array.from (bigfib (10000))
console.timeEnd ('bigfib')
// 1877 ms
console.log (seq.length)
// 10001
console.log (seq [10000] .length)
// 2090
console.log (seq [10000])
// 3364476487 ... 2070 more digits ... 9947366875
Of course all of that magic takes place in Bignum
, which we will share now. To get an intuition for how we will design Bignum
, recall how you added big numbers using pen and paper as a child...
1259601512351095520986368
+ 50695640938240596831104
---------------------------
?
You add each column, right to left, and when a column overflows into the double digits, remembering to carry the 1 over to the next column...
... <-001
1259601512351095520986368
+ 50695640938240596831104
---------------------------
... <-472
Above, we can see that if we had two 10-digit numbers, it would take approximately 30 simple additions (3 per column) to compute the answer. This is how we will design Bignum
to work
const Bignum =
{ fromInt: (n = 0) =>
n < 10
? [ n ]
: [ n % 10, ...Bignum.fromInt (n / 10 >> 0) ]
, fromString: (s = "0") =>
Array.from (s, Number) .reverse ()
, toString: (b) =>
Array.from (b) .reverse () .join ('')
, add: (b1, b2) =>
{
const len = Math.max (b1.length, b2.length)
let answer = []
let carry = 0
for (let i = 0; i < len; i = i + 1) {
const x = b1[i] || 0
const y = b2[i] || 0
const sum = x + y + carry
answer.push (sum % 10)
carry = sum / 10 >> 0
}
if (carry > 0) answer.push (carry)
return answer
}
}
We'll run a quick test to verify our example above
const x =
fromString ('1259601512351095520986368')
const y =
fromString ('50695640938240596831104')
console.log (toString (add (x,y)))
// 1310297153289336117817472
And now a complete program demonstration. Expand it to calculate the precise 10,000th fibonacci number in your own browser! Note, the result is the same as the answer provided by wolfram alpha
const Bignum =
{ fromInt: (n = 0) =>
n < 10
? [ n ]
: [ n % 10, ...Bignum.fromInt (n / 10 >> 0) ]
, fromString: (s = "0") =>
Array.from (s, Number) .reverse ()
, toString: (b) =>
Array.from (b) .reverse () .join ('')
, add: (b1, b2) =>
{
const len = Math.max (b1.length, b2.length)
let answer = []
let carry = 0
for (let i = 0; i < len; i = i + 1) {
const x = b1[i] || 0
const y = b2[i] || 0
const sum = x + y + carry
answer.push (sum % 10)
carry = sum / 10 >> 0
}
if (carry > 0) answer.push (carry)
return answer
}
}
const { fromInt, toString, add } =
Bignum
const bigfib = function* (n = 0)
{
let a = fromInt (0)
let b = fromInt (1)
let _
while (n >= 0) {
yield toString (a)
_ = a
a = b
b = add (b, _)
n = n - 1
}
}
console.time ('bigfib')
const seq = Array.from (bigfib (10000))
console.timeEnd ('bigfib')
// 1877 ms
console.log (seq.length)
// 10001
console.log (seq [10000] .length)
// 2090
console.log (seq [10000])
// 3364476487 ... 2070 more digits ... 9947366875
100,000
I was just curious how far this little script could go. It seems like the only limitation is just time and memory. Below, we calculate the first 100,000 fibonacci numbers without approximation. Numbers at this point in the sequence are over 20,000 digits long, wow! It takes 3.18 minutes to complete but the result still matches the answer from wolfram alpha
console.time ('bigfib')
const seq = Array.from (bigfib (100000))
console.timeEnd ('bigfib')
// 191078 ms
console.log (seq .length)
// 100001
console.log (seq [100000] .length)
// 20899
console.log (seq [100000])
// 2597406934 ... 20879 more digits ... 3428746875
I like the fact that there are so many ways to create a fibonacci sequence in JS. I will try to reproduce a few of them. The goal is to output a sequence to console (like {n: 6, fiboNum: 8}
)
// The IIFE form is purposefully omitted. See below.
const fiboGenClosure = () => {
let [a, b] = [0, 1];
let n = 0;
return (fiboNum = a) => {
[a, b] = [b, a + b];
return {
n: n++,
fiboNum: fiboNum
};
};
}
// Gets the sequence until given nth number. Always returns a new copy of the main function, so it is possible to generate multiple independent sequences.
const generateFiboClosure = n => {
const newSequence = fiboGenClosure();
for (let i = 0; i <= n; i++) {
console.log(newSequence());
}
}
generateFiboClosure(21);
Similar to the closure pattern above, using the advantages of generator function and for..of loop.
// The 'n' argument is a substitute for index.
function* fiboGen(n = 0) {
let [a, b] = [0, 1];
while (true) {
yield [a, n++];
[a, b] = [b, a + b];
}
}
// Also gives a new sequence every time is invoked.
const generateFibonacci = n => {
const iterator = fiboGen();
for (let [value, index] of iterator) {
console.log({
n: index,
fiboNum: value
});
if (index >= n) break;
}
}
generateFibonacci(21);
This one is a little tricky, because, now in late 2018, TC optimization is still an issue. But honestly – if you don't use any smart tricks to allow the default JS engine to use a really big numbers, it will get dizzy and claims that the next fibonacci number is "Infinity" by iteration 1477. The stack would probably overflow somewhere around iteration 10 000 (vastly depends on browser, memory etc…). Could be probably padded by try… catch block or check if "Infinity" was reached.
const fibonacciRTC = (n, i = 0, a = 0, b = 1) => {
console.log({
n: i,
fibonacci: a
});
if (n === 0) return;
return fibonacciRTC(--n, ++i, b, a + b);
}
fibonacciRTC(21)
It can be written as a one-liner, if we throe away the console.log
thing and simply return a number:
const fibonacciRTC2 = (n, a = 0, b = 1) => n === 0 ? a : fibonacciRTC2(n - 1, b, a + b);
console.log(fibonacciRTC2(21))
As I found out reading this mathIsFun article, the fibonacci sequence is valid for negative numbers as well! I tried to implement that in the recursive tail call form above like that:
const fibonacciRTC3 = (n, a = 0, b = 1, sign = n >= 0 ? 1 : -1) => {
if (n === 0) return a * sign;
return fibonacciRTC3(n - sign, b, a + b, sign);
}
console.log(fibonacciRTC3(8)); // 21
console.log(fibonacciRTC3(-8)); // -21
This script will take a number as parameter, that you want your Fibonacci sequence to go.

Beginner, not too elegant, but shows the basic steps and deductions in JavaScript

var j = [];
var x = [1,2];
var even = [];
for (var i = 1;i<4000001;i++){
j.push(i);
}
// Array Even Million
i = 1;
while (i<4000001){
var k = j[i] + j[i-1];
j[i + 1] = k;
if (k < 4000001){

}
i++;
}
var total = 0;

even.push(x[w]);
}
}
for (num in even){

}
console.log(x);
console.log(even);
console.log(total);
My 2 cents:
function fibonacci(num) {
return Array.apply(null, Array(num)).reduce(function(acc, curr, idx) {
return idx > 2 ? acc.concat(acc[idx-1] + acc[idx-2]) : acc;
}, [0, 1, 1]);

Here is a function that displays a generated Fibonacci sequence in full while using recursion:
function fibonacci (n, length) {
if (n < 2) {
return [1];
}
if (n < 3) {
return [1, 1];
}
let a = fibonacci(n - 1);
a.push(a[n - 2] + a[n - 3]);
return (a.length === length)
? a.map(val => console.log(val))
: a;
};
The output for fibonacci(5, 5)
will be:
1
1
2
3
5
The value that is assigned to a
is the returned value of the fibonacci
function. On the following line, the next value of the fibonacci sequence is calculated and pushed to the end of the a
array.
The length
parameter of the fibonacci
function is used to compare the length of the sequence that is the a
array and must be the same as n
parameter. When the length of the sequence matches the length parameter, the a
array is outputted to the console, otherwise the function returns the a
array and repeats.
According to the Interview Cake question, the sequence goes 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21. If this is the case, this solution works and is recursive without the use of arrays.
function fibonacci(n) {
return n < 1 ? 0
: n <= 2 ? 1
: fibonacci(n - 1) + fibonacci(n - 2);
}
console.log(fibonacci(4));
Think of it like this.
fibonacci(4) .--------> 2 + 1 = 3
| / |
'--> fibonacci(3) + fibonacci(2)
| ^
| '----------- 2 = 1 + 1 <----------.
1st step -> | ^ |
| | |
'----> fibonacci(2) -' + fibonacci(1)-'
Take note, this solution is not very efficient though.
Here's a simple function to iterate the Fibonacci sequence into an array using arguments in the for
function more than the body of the loop:
fib = function(numMax){
for(var fibArray = [0,1], i=0,j=1,k=0; k<numMax;i=j,j=x,k++ ){
x=i+j;
fibArray.push(x);
}
console.log(fibArray);
}
fib(10)
[ 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89 ]
function fib(n) {
if (n <= 1) {
return n;
} else {
return fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2);
}
}
fib(10); // returns 55

Whatever count we need, we can give it to above fibo method and get the fibonacci series upto the count.
fibo(20); //output: [0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, 2584, 4181]
There is no need for slow loops, generators or recursive functions (with or without caching). Here is a fast one-liner using Array
and reduce
.
ECMAScript 6:
var fibonacci=(n)=>Array(n).fill().reduce((a,b,c)=>a.concat(c<2?c:a[c-1]+a[c-2]),[])
ECMAScript 5:
function fibonacci(n){
return Array.apply(null,{length:n}).reduce(function(a,b,c){return a.concat((c<2)?c:a[c-1]+a[c-2]);},[]);
}
Tested in Chrome 59 (Windows 10):
fibonacci(10); // 0 ms -> (10) [0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34]
JavaScript can handle numbers up to 1476 before reaching Infinity
.
fibonacci(1476); // 11ms -> (1476) [0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ...]
Another implementation, while recursive is very fast and uses single inline function. It hits the javascript 64-bit number precision limit, starting 80th sequence (as do all other algorithms): For example if you want the 78th term (78 goes in the last parenthesis):
(function (n,i,p,r){p=(p||0)+r||1;i=i?i+1:1;return i<=n?arguments.callee(n,i,r,p):r}(78));
will return: 8944394323791464
This is backwards compatible all the way to ECMASCRIPT4 - I tested it with IE7 and it works!
