# Fibonacci of large number in java

Java 8Object Oriented ProgrammingProgramming

Fibonacci numbers of Fibonacci series grows exponentially and can be very large for large numbers like 500 or 1000. To handle such number, long data type is not sufficient. BigInteger can handle large number easily. BigInteger is useful in scenarios where calculations results in data which is out of limit for available primitive data types. See the example below of getting Fibonacci number of 100 and 1000.

## Example

Live Demo

import java.math.BigInteger;
public class Tester {
public static void main(String args[]) {
System.out.println("Fibonacci of 100: ");
System.out.println(fibonacci(100));
System.out.println("Fibonacci of 1000: ");
System.out.println(fibonacci(1000));
}
private static BigInteger fibonacci(int n) {
BigInteger a = BigInteger.ZERO;
BigInteger b = BigInteger.ONE;
BigInteger c = BigInteger.ONE;
for (int i=2 ; i<=n ; i++) {
a = b;
b = c;
}
return a;
}
}

### Output

Fibonacci of 100:
218922995834555169026
Fibonacci of 1000:
