// Recusive
// O(2^n)
public int fibonacci(int n)
{
  if (n <= 0)
    return 0;
  if (n == 1)
    return 1;
  if (n == 2)
    return 2;
  return fibonacci(n - 2) + fibonacci(n - 1);
}

// Iterative
// O(n)
public int fibonacci(int n)
{
    if (n <= 0)
        return 0;
    if (n == 1)
        return 1;
    if (n == 2)
        return 2;
        
    // last, cur, next
    int last = 1;
    int cur = 2;    
    for (int i = 3 ; i <= n ; i ++)
    {
        int temp = cur;
        cur = cur + last;
        last = temp;
    }
    return cur;
}
