Recursive Fibonacci

Question

I\'m having a hard time understanding why

#include 

using namespace std;

int fib(int x) {
    if (x == 1) {
        return 1;
    } else {
         


        

Answer 1

The reason is because Fibonacci sequence starts with two known entities, 0 and 1. Your code only checks for one of them (being one).

Change your code to

int fib(int x) {
    if (x == 0)
        return 0;

    if (x == 1)
        return 1;

    return fib(x-1)+fib(x-2);
}

To include both 0 and 1.
