i had thought about this

Alhamdulillah :)

This is a well known problem in Math, I suggest you read literature about it. It's a math heavy task.

@jesimielpogi018 you need an O(n) solution, one that, when given a 100-element array, will do 100 iterations, and not 10000 (O(n^2)). So you can't bruteforce with nested for-loops.

fr, however take a look at this: https://www.codewars.com/kata/58db9545facc51e3db00000a

They hate yo ass for some reason

thanks i get it now

No probs :)

Thanks!!

nice solution . it reads like machine language .

First of all, I apologise for being late, but thank you.

If a function is memoized, from my understanding, it will help in its next call, because the previous results from the previous call has no reason to be deleted.

take a function fibonacci(n):

def fibonacci(n):
  if n < 2:
    return n
  return fibonacci(n-2) + fibonacci(n-1)
  

fibonacci(3) -> fibonacci(1) + fibonacci(2)
             -> 1 + fibonacci(0) + fibonacci(1)
             -> 1 + 0 + 1
             -> 2
             
             
With memoization

MEMO = {0:0, 1:1}
def fibonacci(n):
  if n in MEMO:
    return MEMO[n]
  MEMO[n] = ans = fibonacci(n-2) + fibonacci(n-1)
  return ans


Now call fibonacci(3):

MEMO[3] = fibonacci(1) + fibonacci(2) = 2
               v              v
          MEMO[1] = 1    MEMO[2] = MEMO[1] + MEMO[0] = 1


MEMO dictionary is updated each call, now it is
{0:0, 1:1, 2:1, 3:2}


Now call fibonacci(4):

MEMO[4] = fibonacci(2) + fibonacci(3) = 3
              v               v
              1               2
              |_______ _______|
                      V
  saved in MEMO from last call, saving time by not re-calculating the results

updated MEMO dictionary:
{0:0, 1:1, 2:1, 3:2, 4:3}

Now call fibonacci(5):

MEMO[5] = fibonacci(3) + fibonacci(4) = 5
              v               v
              2               3
              
Now, can you see why it works?

Hope this helps!

In my world the clock turns in the opposite diretion.

seriously? with only 3 if? okay i'll concider

my eyes hurt, atleast use 'and' instead of nested if

Ya , Alhamdulillah, i did, Inshallah you will get it too
