## Problem 2: Even Fibonacci Numbers
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Method:
|
||
|
- A fibonacci sequence is a sequence where `fib(n) = fib(n-1) + fib(n-1)`.
|
||
|
- In this challenge we have to sum all the even numbers upto `nth` term in the sequence.
|
||
|
- Example for `fiboEvenSum(10)`:
|
||
|
+ The sequence till 10th term is:
|
||
|
1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144
|
||
|
|
||
|
+ Sum of all even number in the above sequence is:
|
||
|
2 + 8 + 34 + 144 = 188
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Solution:
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### Basic Solution - Iterative:
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
function fiboEvenSum(n) {
|
||
|
let first = 1, second = 2, sum = 2, fibNum; // declaring and initializing variables
|
||
|
if (n <= 1) return sum; // edge case
|
||
|
for (let i = 2; i <= n; i++){ // looping till n
|
||
|
fibNum = first + second; // getting the ith fibonacci number
|
||
|
first = second;
|
||
|
second = fibNum;
|
||
|
if (fibNum%2 == 0) sum+=fibNum; // If even add to the sum variable
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
return sum;
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
#### Advanced Solution - Recursive:
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
// We use memoization technique to save ith fibonacci number to the fib array
|
||
|
function fiboEvenSum(n){
|
||
|
const fib = [1, 2];
|
||
|
let sumEven = fib[1];
|
||
|
function fibonacci(n){
|
||
|
if (n <= 1) return fib[n]; // base condition
|
||
|
else if (fib[n]) return fib[n]; // if the number exists in the array we cache it and return
|
||
|
else {
|
||
|
fib[n] = fibonacci(n-1) + fibonacci(n-2); // otherwise calculcate and save it to the array
|
||
|
if (fib[n]%2 == 0) sumEven+=fib[n]; //if the number is even, add it to the sumEven variable
|
||
|
return fib[n];
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
fibonacci(n); // run the recursive function
|
||
|
return sumEven;
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
