WTF? How does that even work?

Gz on the clean solution, btw

Thank you!

So it is an inline conditional... here is an article explaining it better than I could.. :)

I'm a total noob at this. Would someone please tell me how this works? I've tried googling colon and questionmark, but I haven't found a satisfactory explanation.

Not A-z but [A-Za-z] or [a-z]/i

I have no idea with recursion solution :) But your & my code working fine with big n :)

You are absolutely right, sir.
First time ever I see that recursion is actually not a clever thing to do.

Is it still somehow possible to run this code with n = 100? Mine returns "Interupt" error.

That is Bad Practice! What about if n == 100? :) Your program will kill itself.

Very nice

Thanks!
I also found this useful for anyone newer

This is an example of recursion. The concept is present in many programming languages, and mathematics in general.

The equation for a single fibonacci number is dependent on the two previous fibonacci numbers (for all but n == 1 && n == 2). These are determined by either:

• Calling the fibonacci method again from within the fibonacci method itself (which may in turn call itself many more times, until it hits a seed value).
• Hitting an n value that acts as a seed. These seed values are required to prevent infinite recursion, and are implemented as the following lines in this solution:

return 0 if n == 1
return 1 if n == 2

For a ruby specific explanation of recursion, check out this StackOverflow Post.

For a more broad, mathematical explanation (including fibonacci numbers) see the wiki article on Recurrence relations.

Can someone explain how this works?
Newer to ruby and don't understand this method with a method call...?

nth_fibonacci(n-1)+nth_fibonacci(n-2)

or /A-z/

I like this one because recursion. Also cause we did that same thing :P
