Program to check given number is a Fibonacci term in Python
Suppose we have a number say n. We have to check whether n is present in Fibonacci sequence or not. As we know in Fibonacci sequence f(i) = f(i-1) + f(i-2) for each i from 2 to n, and f(0) = 0, f(1) = 1.
So, if the input is like n = 13, then the output will be True, as some terms in Fibonacci sequence are: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, so 34 is present.
To solve this, we will follow these steps −
- phi := 0.5 + 0.5 * square root of(5.0)
- a := phi * n
- return true when n is same as 0 or a is an integer
Example
Let us see the following implementation to get better understanding −
from math import sqrt def solve(n): phi = 0.5 + 0.5 * 5.0**0.5 a = phi * n return n == 0 or abs(round(a) - a) < 1.0 / n n = 13 print(solve(n))
Input
13
Output
True
