Fibonacci numbers
Problem Statement
Write a function to calculate the nth Fibonacci number.
Fibonacci numbers are a series of numbers in which each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers. First few Fibonacci numbers are: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, ...
Mathematically we can define the Fibonacci numbers as:
Fib(n) = Fib(n-1) + Fib(n-2), for n > 1 Given that: Fib(0) = 0, and Fib(1) = 1
Constraints:
0 <= n <= 30

🎨 Explain it visually
Build the mental picture, not memorization.
I just read a lesson on **Fibonacci numbers** (DSA) and want to truly understand it. Explain Fibonacci numbers from first principles using ONE vivid real-world analogy and a visual mental model — draw it as ASCII art or a clear step-by-step diagram — with a concrete example using real numbers. Then ask me one question to check I got the mental picture, and wait for my reply. If you're unsure or a claim isn't standard, say so and reason from first principles instead of guessing.
🤔 Walk me through it (interactive)
Socratic — adapts to where you're stuck.
Teach me **Fibonacci numbers** interactively. Ask me ONE guiding question at a time, wait for my answer, and adapt to my confusion — build the idea with me step by step instead of explaining it all at once. If you're unsure or a claim isn't standard, say so and reason from first principles instead of guessing.
🧪 Quiz me & fix my gaps
Active recall exposes what you missed.
Quiz me on **Fibonacci numbers** with 5 questions, easy to tricky, ONE at a time. Tell me if each answer is right; at the end, explain clearly what I got wrong and why. If you're unsure or a claim isn't standard, say so and reason from first principles instead of guessing.
🧠 Make it stick
Intuition + hook + flashcards for long-term memory.
Help me remember **Fibonacci numbers** for the long term: give the one-sentence intuition, a memorable hook/mnemonic, a tiny worked example, and 3 active-recall flashcards (Q -> A). If you're unsure or a claim isn't standard, say so and reason from first principles instead of guessing.
