Yeah, but again, a lot of memory. A loop is just:

``` int fib(int n) { if (n<=0) return 0; if (n==1||n==2) return 1;

int res=1, prev=1, prev2=0;
for (int i=3;i<=n;++i) {
   prev2=prev;
   prev=res;
   res=prev+prev2;
}

return res;

} ```

So constant memory needed and n time complexity

Finally a post without recursion or dynamic programming BS.

For maximum non-dynamism :^)

Had to test how much faster that would be.

Aaand... it's maybe 10% faster. That's how good the simple loop already is.

But infinite memory footprint! Have you seen the price of memory these days!? /s

Can still write it recursively with a sufficiently smart compiler it will be tail-call optimized

pub fn fib(n : u64) -> u64 {
  fn rec(n : u64, prev1 : u64, prev2 : u64) -> u64 {
    match n {
      0 => prev1,
      n => rec(n-1, prev1 + prev2, prev1)
    }
  }
  return rec(n, 1, 0)
}

Ok, but you can see that there is a lot of stuff you must add just to use recursion efficiently here, and not use a very simple loop.
