The following Q&A covers a few methods of generating Fibonacci numbers in Swift, but it's quite outdated (Swift 1.2?):
Question: How could we generate Fibonacci numbers neatly using modern Swift (Swift >= 3)? Preferably methods avoiding explicit recursion.
An alternative for Swift 3.0 would be to use the helper function
public func sequence<T>(first: T, while condition: @escaping (T)-> Bool, next: @escaping (T) -> T) -> UnfoldSequence<T, T> {
let nextState = { (state: inout T) -> T? in
// Return `nil` if condition is no longer satisfied:
guard condition(state) else { return nil }
// Update current value _after_ returning from this call:
defer { state = next(state) }
// Return current value:
return state
}
return sequence(state: first, next: nextState)
}
from Express for loops in swift with dynamic range:
for f in sequence(first: (0, 1), while: { $1 <= 50 }, next: { ($1, $0 + $1)}) {
print(f.1)
}
// 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34
Note that in order to include zero in the resulting sequence, it
suffices to replace the initial value (0, 1) by (1, 0):
for f in sequence(first: (1, 0), while: { $1 <= 50 }, next: { ($1, $0 + $1)}) {
print(f.1)
}
// 0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34
That makes the "artificial" check
if pair.1 == 0 { pair.1 = 1; return 0 }
redundant. The underlying reason is that the Fibonacci numbers can be generalized to negative indices (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalizations_of_Fibonacci_numbers):
... -8, 5, -3, 2, -1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, ...
sequence can be downhacked into return sequence(state: first, next: { (condition($0) ? $0 : Optional<T>.none, $0 = next($0)).0 }). –
Sensational next($0) even if the condition is not satisfied, i.e. "once too often". –
Erogenous defer (in the original) wont be executed (reached) in case the guard breaks and returns nil? –
Sensational defer statement is not executed then its code block is not scheduled for execution at all. –
Erogenous return sequence(state: first, next: { condition($0) ? ($0, $0 = next($0)).0 : Optional<T>.none }) but it seems to crash the compiler for me. –
Sensational sequence(state:next:) functionAs one alternative we could make use of one the neat global sequence functions, a pair of functions that were implemented in Swift 3.0 (as described in evolution proposal SE-0094).
Using the latter of these, we may keep the previous and current state of the Fibonacci numbers sequence as the mutable state property in the next closure of sequence(state:next:).
func fibs(through: Int, includingZero useZero: Bool = false)
-> UnfoldSequence<Int, (Int, Int)> {
return sequence(state: useZero ? (1, 0) : (0, 1),
next: { (pair: inout (Int, Int)) -> Int? in
guard pair.1 <= through else { return nil }
defer { pair = (pair.1, pair.0 + pair.1) }
return pair.1
})
}
// explicit type annotation of inout parameter closure
// needed due to (current) limitation in Swift's type
// inference
// alternatively, always start from one: drop useZero
// conditional at 'state' initialization
func fibs1(through: Int)
-> UnfoldSequence<Int, (Int, Int)> {
return sequence(state: (0, 1),
next: { (pair: inout (Int, Int)) -> Int? in
guard pair.1 <= through else { return nil }
defer { pair = (pair.1, pair.0 + pair.1) }
return pair.1
})
}
Or, condensing this using tuple hacks (however executing next one extra, unnecessary, time)
func fibs(through: Int, includingZero useZero: Bool = false) -> UnfoldSequence<Int, (Int, Int)> {
return sequence(state: useZero ? (1, 0) : (0, 1), next: {
($0.1 <= through ? $0.1 : Optional<Int>.none, $0 = ($0.1, $0.0 + $0.1)).0 })
}
func fibs1(through: Int) -> UnfoldSequence<Int, (Int, Int)> {
return sequence(state: (0, 1), next: {
($0.1 <= through ? $0.1 : Optional<Int>.none, $0 = ($0.1, $0.0 + $0.1)).0 })
}
Note that we explicitly terminate the sequences with a nil return when the ... <= through condition is no longer met.
Example usage:
// fib numbers up through 50, excluding 0
fibs(through: 50).forEach { print($0) }
// 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34
// ... or
fibs1(through: 50).forEach { print($0) }
// 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34
// ... including 0
fibs(through: 50, includingZero: true).forEach { print($0) }
// 0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34
// project Euler #2: sum of even fib numbers up to 4000000
print(fibs(through: 4_000_000)
.reduce(0) { $1 % 2 == 0 ? $0 + $1 : $0 }) // 4 613 732
We could also remove the termination criteria from above to construct an infinite sequence of fibonacci numbers, to be used in combination e.g. with prefix:
func infFibs() -> UnfoldSequence<Int, (Int, Int)> {
return sequence(state: (0, 1), next: {
(pair: inout (Int, Int)) -> Int in (pair.1, pair = (pair.1, pair.0 + pair.1)).0 })
}
// prefix the first 6 fib numbers (excluding 0) from
// the infinite sequence of fib numbers
infFibs().prefix(10).forEach { print($0) }
// 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55
When Swift 3.1 arrives, the prefix(while:) method for sequences, as described in evolution proposal SE-0045, will have been implemented. Using this additional feature, we can modify the fibs methods above to avoid the explicit by-nil conditional sequence termination:
func fibs(through: Int, startingFromZero useZero: Bool = false)
-> AnySequence<Int> {
return sequence(state: useZero ? (1, 0) : (0, 1),
next: { (pair: inout (Int, Int)) -> Int? in
defer { pair = (pair.1, pair.0 + pair.1) }
return pair.1
}).prefix(while: { $0 <= through })
}
// alternatively, always start from one: drop useZero
// conditional at 'state' initialization
func fibs1(through: Int) -> AnySequence<Int> {
return sequence(state: (0, 1),
next: { (pair: inout (Int, Int)) -> Int? in
defer { pair = (pair.1, pair.0 + pair.1) }
return pair.1
}).prefix(while: { $0 <= through })
}
Examples should work the same as for Swift 3.0 above.
for f in sequence(first: (0, 1), while: { $1 <= 50 }, next: { ($1, $0 + $1)}) { print(f.1) }. –
Erogenous In Swift 3.1, here's an iterator that generates Fibonacci numbers forever, and an infinite sequence derived from it:
class FibIterator : IteratorProtocol {
var (a, b) = (0, 1)
func next() -> Int? {
(a, b) = (b, a + b)
return a
}
}
let fibs = AnySequence{FibIterator()}
To print the first 10 Fibonacci numbers:
> print(Array(fibs.prefix(10)))
[1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55]
If you want to filter or map this infinite sequence you'll need to call .lazy first, since otherwise filter or map will behave strictly and will not terminate. Here are the first 5 even Fibonacci numbers:
> print( Array(fibs.lazy.filter{$0 % 2 == 0}.prefix(5)) )
[2, 8, 34, 144, 610]
I have just saw Dhaval Gevariya code and just move print fibonacci above instead below and now it will print 0 also
func fibonaci(n: Int)
{
var fiboNumberOne = 1
var fiboNumberTwo = 0
for i in 0..<n
{
print("Fibonaci \(fiboNumberTwo)")
let temp = fiboNumberOne + fiboNumberTwo
fiboNumberOne = fiboNumberTwo
fiboNumberTwo = temp
}
}
fibonaci(n: 5)
From David kopec's book “Classic Computer Science Problems in Swift”:
By recursion
var fibMemo: [UInt: UInt] = [0: 0, 1: 1] // our old base cases
func fib3(n: UInt) > UInt
{
if let result = fibMemo[n]
{
// our new base case
return result
}
else
{
fibMemo[n] = fib3(n: n 1) + fib3(n: n 2) // memoization
}
return fibMemo[n]!
}
By iterative approach
func fib4(n: UInt) > UInt
{
if (n == 0)
{
// special case
return n
}
var last: UInt = 0, next: UInt = 1 // initially set to fib(0) & fib(1
for _ in 1..<n {
(last, next) = (next, last + next) }
return next
}
func fibonaci(n: Int)
{
var fiboNumberOne = 1
var fiboNumberTwo = 0
for i in 0..<n
{
let temp = fiboNumberOne + fiboNumberTwo
fiboNumberOne = fiboNumberTwo
fiboNumberTwo = temp
print("Fibonaci \(fiboNumberTwo)")
}
}
fibonaci(n: 5)
func fibonacci(iteration: Int) -> Int {
return Int(round(pow(1.618033988749895, Double(iteration)) / 2.23606797749979))
}
So here how it works:
print((0..<40).map(fibonacci))
// prints [0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, 2584, 4181]
Works perfectly until 70 iteration.

XCode Version 10.0 beta 6, Swift 4.2
The control flow is required to get either the first or the first two iterations of the fibonacci seq starting with 0.
Time Complexity: O(n)
Space Complexity: O(n)
Code
func fib(_ n: Int) -> [Int] {
var fibs: [Int] = [0, 1]
switch n
{
case 1: return [fibs[0]]
case 2: return [fibs[0],fibs[1]]
default:
(2...n-1).forEach
{ i in
fibs.append(fibs[i - 1] + fibs[i - 2])
}
return fibs
}
}
Usage
fib(8)
//print(fib(8))
// MARK: - Function
func fibonacciSeries(_ num1 : Int,_ num2 : Int,_ term : Int,_ termCount : Int) -> Void{
if termCount != term{
print(num1)
fibonacciSeries(num2, num2+num1, term, termCount + 1)
}
}
// MARK: - Calling Of Function fibonacciSeries(0, 1, 5, 0)
// MARK: - out Put 0 1 1 2 3
Note Need to Change only No Of term for fibonacci Series.
func fibonacci(n: Int) -> Int {
if n <= 1 {
return n
} else {
return fibonacci(n: n - 1) + fibonacci(n: n - 2)
}
}
print(fibonacci(n: 10))
Slight improvement of H S W's answer - recusrion generating a list of the fib series, one ingle pure function - performance will be poor - but useful for teaching purposes:
func fibonnaci(numberOfElements n: UInt) -> [Int] {
let list = [0, 1]
guard n > 2 else {
return Array(list.prefix(Int(n)))
}
func inner(_ l: [Int]) -> [Int] {
let m = l.count
guard n != m else { return l }
return inner(l + [(l[m - 2] + l[m - 1])])
}
return inner(list)
}
This is bad to use recursion!! recursion is evil!
I would have rather done it this way:
func fibo(_ n:Int) -> Int {
var a = 0
var b = 1
for _ in 0..<n {
a += b
b = a - b
}
return a
}
Which is much faster and cleaner!
