def fib1(n): if n == 0: return 0 elif n == 1: return 1 f2, f1 = 0, 1 for _ in range(2, n+1): f2, f1 = f1, f2 + f1 return f1 def fib2(n): if n == 0: return 0 elif n == 1: return 1 else: return fib2(n-1) + fib2(n-2) Try calling fib1(35) and fib2(35). Still think only the input and output matter? :) For the record, fib2(35) ends up making a total of 29860703 function calls, compared to 35 iterations for fib1. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
