⚡️ Speed up function fibonacci by 51,311%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 51,311% (513.11x) speedup for fibonacci in code_to_optimize_js/fibonacci.js

⏱️ Runtime : 7.21 milliseconds → 14.0 microseconds (best of 250 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves a 515x speedup (from 7.21ms to 14μs) by replacing the recursive algorithm with an iterative approach that eliminates exponential redundant calculations.

What changed:

• Eliminated recursion: The original recursive implementation called fibonacci(n-1) and fibonacci(n-2) at each level, creating an exponential call tree where the same values are recalculated thousands of times (e.g., fibonacci(2) is computed over 10,000 times when calculating fibonacci(20)).
• Iterative loop with state tracking: The optimized version uses a simple for loop with two variables (prev and curr) to iteratively build up the Fibonacci sequence from bottom to top, computing each value exactly once.

Why this is faster:

• Time complexity: Reduced from O(2^n) to O(n) - for n=30, this means ~1 billion operations reduced to just 30 iterations.
• Space complexity: Reduced from O(n) call stack depth to O(1) constant memory.
• No function call overhead: Eliminates the overhead of thousands of recursive function calls, stack frame allocations, and returns.

Test case performance:
The optimization particularly benefits larger inputs (n≥20), where the exponential growth of the recursive approach becomes prohibitive. The test suite shows correct results for n=20, 25, and 30, which would be slow or impractical with the recursive version. Smaller inputs (n≤10) also benefit but the speedup is less pronounced since the base cases dominate.

Impact:
This optimization makes the function viable for production use with moderate-to-large inputs, transforming it from an academic example into a practical implementation suitable for any context where Fibonacci numbers need to be computed efficiently.
