Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Create a Python function that computes the N-th Fibonacci number using both naive recursion and memoization, then compare their execution times for large N.

💡 Hint: Make sure to choose a large N to see the difference in performance.

Challenge 2 Hard

Develop a dynamic programming solution for calculating the Fibonacci sequence and discuss its benefits over recursive and memoized approaches.

💡 Hint: Identify the smallest dependencies and ensure you fill the table systematically.
