I am trying to rapidly calculate large Fibonacci numbers. Here is my code. It is prohibitively slow for numbers above 1 million, how can it be improved?
public static BigInteger fib(BigInteger n) {
int k = n.intValue();
BigInteger ans = null;
if(k == 0) {
ans = new BigInteger("0");
} else if(Math.abs(k) <= 2) {
ans = new BigInteger("1");
} else {
BigInteger km1 = new BigInteger("1");
BigInteger km2 = new BigInteger("1");
for(int i = 3; i <= Math.abs(k); ++i) {
ans = km1.add(km2);
km2 = km1;
km1 = ans;
}
}
if(k<0 && k%2==0) { ans = ans.negate(); }
return ans;
}
Binet's worked well. Thanks guys!
