Fibonacci Series Using Recursive Approach

Since Fibonacci Number is the summation of the two previous numbers. We can use recursion as per the following conditions:

  1. Get the number whose Fibonacci series needs to be calculated.
  2. Recursively iterate from value N to 1:
    • Base case: If the value called recursively is less than 1, the return 1 the function.
    • Recursive call: If the base case is not met, then recursively call for the previous two values as:

recursive_function(N – 1) + recursive_function(N – 2);

  • Return statement: At each recursive call(except the base case), return the recursive function for the previous two values as:

recursive_function(N – 1) + recursive_function(N – 2);

Below is the implementation of the Fibonacci Series Using Recursion in Java:

Java
// Recursive implementation of Fibonacci series program in
// java
import java.io.*;

class GFG {

    // Function to print the fibonacci series
    static int fib(int n)
    {
        // Base Case
        if (n <= 1)
            return n;

        // Recursive call
        return fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2);
    }

    // Driver Code
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        // Given Number N
        int N = 10;

        // Print the first N numbers
        for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {

            System.out.print(fib(i) + " ");
        }
    }
}

Output
0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 

The complexity of the above method

Time Complexity: O(2N)  
Auxiliary Space: O(n)

Program to Print Fibonacci Series in Java

The Fibonacci series is a series of elements where, the previous two elements are added to get the next element, starting with 0 and 1. In this article, we will learn how to print Fibonacci Series in Java up to the N term, where N is the given number.

Examples of Fibonacci Series in Java

Input: N = 10 
Output: 0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 
Explanation: Here first term of Fibonacci is 0 and second is 1, so that 3rd term = first(o) + second(1) etc and so on.

Fibonacci Series Using Iterative Approach

Initialize the first and second numbers to 0 and 1. Following this, we print the first and second numbers. Then we send the flow to the iterative while loop where we get the next number by adding the previous two numbers and simultaneously we swap the first number with the second and the second with the third....
