Recursive Solution
To solve the Fibonacci sequence using a recursive approach, we can define a function Fibonacci(n)
that calculates the Fibonacci number at position n
. The recursive solution follows the mathematical definition of the Fibonacci sequence.
Here's an example of how to implement the recursive solution in C#:
1public int Fibonacci(int n)
2{
3 if (n == 0) return 0;
4 if (n == 1) return 1;
5 return Fibonacci(n - 1) + Fibonacci(n - 2);
6}
7
8Console.WriteLine(Fibonacci(6));
In the above code snippet, we define the Fibonacci
function that takes an integer n
as input and returns the Fibonacci number at position n
. The function uses recursion to calculate the Fibonacci number by calling itself with n - 1
and n - 2
as inputs.
By calling Fibonacci(6)
, we can calculate the Fibonacci number at position 6. The expected output is 8
.
It's important to note that the recursive solution for the Fibonacci sequence is not efficient for larger values of n
. The recursive approach has overlapping subproblems and performs redundant calculations, which can lead to exponential time complexity. However, the recursive solution is a good starting point to understand the problem and can be optimized using dynamic programming techniques that we'll cover in the upcoming sections.
