Fibonacci calculator with BigIntegers

问题

I'm working on a homework project where I must have the user input a number, and the computer spits out the Fibonacci numbers up to that one. I'd normally be able to do this, with int values, except that for this program, I need to use the BigInteger type instead, because int, long, double, etc. types are too small to hold the values I'll need. So, this is the code I've got. The problem is that it doesn't print the numbers it's supposed to. My imports:

import java.math.*;
import java.util.Scanner;

And the rest of the code:

    public static void main(String args[]) {

       //input to print Fibonacci series up to how many numbers
        System.out.println("Enter number up to which Fibonacci series to print: ");
        BigInteger i = BigInteger.valueOf(new Scanner(System.in).nextLong());

        System.out.println("First " + i + " Fibonacci numbers: ");
        //printing Fibonacci series upto number
        for(int j=1; i.compareTo(BigInteger.valueOf(j))<0; j++){
            System.out.print(fibonacci2(BigInteger.valueOf(j)) +" ");
        }


    } 







    public static BigInteger fibonacci2(BigInteger number){
        if(number.compareTo(BigInteger.valueOf(1)) == 0 || number.compareTo(BigInteger.valueOf(2)) == 0){
            return BigInteger.valueOf(1);
        }
        BigInteger fibo1=BigInteger.valueOf(1), fibo2=BigInteger.valueOf(1), fibonacci=BigInteger.valueOf(1);
        for(int i=3; number.compareTo(BigInteger.valueOf(i))<=0; i++){

          //Fibonacci number is sum of previous two Fibonacci number
          fibonacci = fibonacci.add(fibo1.add(fibo2));             
          fibo1 = fibo2;
          fibo2 = fibonacci;

        }
        return fibonacci; //The current Fibonacci number

    }   
}

I know it should work, because I was able to use it with the int type, but then I started to need values that were waaay bigger, so I was forced into BigInteger. Can someone see what's wrong with it? I think the problem is in the return for fibonacci2 method.

回答1:

The return value is the one that needs to be a BigInteger, not your argument number. Your initial tests are 1 and 2 (not 0 and 1 - which is how developers count). Basically, the quick and dirty solution is something like

public static BigInteger fibonacci2(int n) {
    if (n == 0 || n == 1) {
        return BigInteger.ONE;
    }
    return fibonacci2(n - 2).add(fibonacci2(n - 1));
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
        System.out.println(fibonacci2(i));
    }
}

If you need to calculate large values then I suggest using a memoization like

private static Map<Integer, BigInteger> memo = new HashMap<>();

public static BigInteger fibonacci3(int n) {
    if (n == 0 || n == 1) {
        return BigInteger.ONE;
    }
    if (memo.containsKey(n)) {
        return memo.get(n);
    }
    BigInteger v = fibonacci3(n - 2).add(fibonacci3(n - 1));
    memo.put(n, v);
    return v;
}

Note that fibonacci3 will be significantly faster than the initial recursive version.
