⚡️ Speed up function fibonacci by 139%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 139% (1.39x) speedup for fibonacci in code_to_optimize_js_esm/fibonacci.js

⏱️ Runtime : 48.7 microseconds → 20.4 microseconds (best of 1 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves a 139% speedup (from 48.7μs to 20.4μs) by replacing exponential-time recursive calls with a linear iterative approach.

What changed:

• Eliminated recursion: The original code recursively calls fibonacci(n-1) + fibonacci(n-2), which creates an exponential tree of duplicate calculations. For example, fibonacci(5) calls fibonacci(3) twice, fibonacci(2) three times, etc.
• Iterative bottom-up calculation: The optimized version uses a simple loop that builds up from fibonacci(2) to fibonacci(n), storing only the previous two values (prev and curr).

Why it's faster:

• Time complexity: O(2^n) → O(n). The original makes ~2^n function calls due to the branching recursion tree, while the optimized version makes exactly n-1 loop iterations.
• Space complexity: O(n) call stack → O(1). Eliminates stack overhead from deep recursion, reducing memory allocations and function call overhead.
• Cache efficiency: Sequential memory access in the loop is cache-friendly compared to scattered recursive calls.

Test performance insights:

• The annotated tests show the optimization particularly shines on larger inputs (n=15, 20, 21, 30) where exponential growth becomes severe. For small inputs (n≤5), both implementations are fast, but the iterative approach still wins due to lower overhead.
• Tests like fibonacci(30) completing in <2 seconds would fail with the original recursive implementation without memoization.

Impact considerations:
While no function_references are provided, this optimization is universally beneficial for any Fibonacci calculation workload, especially if called repeatedly or with moderate-to-large values of n in production code.
