Suppose we have a list of strictly increasing positive numbers called nums. We have to find the length of the longest subsequence A (of length minimum 3) such that A[i] = A[i - 1] + A[i - 2] for all i > 1.

So, if the input is like nums = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14], then the output will be 6, as we can pick [1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13].

To solve this, we will follow these steps −

• A := nums
• n := size of A
• maxLen := 0
• S := a new set from A
• for i in range 0 to n, do
• for j in range i + 1 to n, do
• x := A[j]
• y := A[i] + A[j]
• length := 2
• while y is present in S, do
• z := x + y
• x := y
• y := z
• length := length + 1
• maxLen := maximum of maxLen, length
• if maxLen > 2, then
• return maxLen
• otherwise,
• return 0

Let us see the following implementation to get better understanding −

## Example

Live Demo

class Solution:
def solve(self, nums):
A = nums
n = len(A)
maxLen = 0
S = set(A)
for i in range(0, n):
for j in range(i + 1, n):
x = A[j]
y = A[i] + A[j]
length = 2
while y in S:
z = x + y
x = y
y = z
length += 1
maxLen = max(maxLen, length)
if maxLen > 2:
return maxLen
else:
return 0
ob = Solution()
nums = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14]
print(ob.solve(nums))

## Input

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14]
