fibonacci series recursion python code example

Example 1: python recursive fibonacci function

# Python program to display the Fibonacci sequence

def recur_fibo(n):
   if n <= 1:
       return n
   else:
       return(recur_fibo(n-1) + recur_fibo(n-2))

nterms = 10

# check if the number of terms is valid
if nterms <= 0:
   print("Plese enter a positive integer")
else:
   print("Fibonacci sequence:")
   for i in range(nterms):
       print(recur_fibo(i))

Example 2: python fibonacci recursive

def Fibonacci( pos ):
        #check for the terminating condition
        if pos <= 1 :
                #Return the value for position 1, here it is 0
                return 0
        if pos == 2:
                #return the value for position 2, here it is 1
                return 1
 
        #perform some operation with the arguments
        #Calculate the (n-1)th number by calling the function itself
        n_1 = Fibonacci( pos-1 )
 
        #calculation  the (n-2)th number by calling the function itself again
        n_2 = Fibonacci( pos-2 )
 
        #calculate the fibo number
        n = n_1 + n_2
 
        #return the fibo number
        return n
 
#Here we asking the function to calculate 5th Fibonacci
nth_fibo = Fibonacci( 5 ) 
 
print (nth_fibo)
