Big Fibonacci

Calculates Fibonacci numbers with arbitrary precision. Fast doubling is used as Fibonacci alforithm which is explanied by Chun-Min Chang, and Karatsuba algoritm for multiplication inspired by the Vladimir Petrigo implementation for big numbers.

Arbitrary precision is achieved through a custom bigint class (only for positive numbers) with multiplication, addition and subtraction operators overloaded. Also, the std::string conversion operator is overloaded.

Build

Use the Makefile file to build the binary. There are some targets available:

  • release: The default target generates de optimized binary at bin/bigfib.
  • debug: Generates the binary for debugging with gdb.
  • clean: Removes all the compilation files.

Feel free to update the CXX, CXXFLAGS, LIBS and LDFLAGS variables if you need.

CLI usage

Usage: bin/bigfib [OPTIONS]... N...
Calculate the Fibonacci number of the given N terms.

  -q, --quiet          don't print the Fibonacci number
  -s, --simple         don't print summary.
  -h, --help           display this help and exit
  -v, --version        output version information and exit

Tests outputs

Some outputs using the quiet options to avoid the Fibonacci number printing. All tests have been executed on a AMD Ryzen™ 7 5700U:
