Fibonacci Test

Run the fibonacci.lua use luajit on Windows:

cd test
.\fibonacci_luajit.bat

fibonacci.lua

Source code of fibonacci.lua:

function fibonacci(n)
    if n >= 3 then
        return fibonacci(n - 2) + fibonacci(n - 1)
    else
        return 1
    end
end

function main()
    print("Enter a number [1-45]: ")
    local n = io.read("*number")

    print("");
    local startTime = os.clock()
    local fib_n = fibonacci(n)
    local endTime = os.clock()

    print("fibonacci(40) = "..fib_n.."\n")
    print("Used time: "..(endTime - startTime).." seconds")
end

main()

Test Result

Enter a number [1-45]:
40

fibonacci(40) = 102334155

Used time: 0.53 seconds
