⚡️ Speed up method Fibonacci.fibonacci by 12%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 12% (0.12x) speedup for Fibonacci.fibonacci in code_to_optimize/java/src/main/java/com/example/Fibonacci.java

⏱️ Runtime : 4.99 milliseconds → 4.47 milliseconds (best of 8 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves an 11% runtime improvement by replacing naive recursion with dynamic programming using memoization. This optimization specifically targets the exponential time complexity of the recursive approach.

Key Performance Changes:

1. Eliminated Redundant Calculations: The original recursive implementation recalculates the same Fibonacci values multiple times. For example, computing fibonacci(5) recursively calls fibonacci(3) twice, fibonacci(2) three times, and so on, leading to O(2^n) time complexity.

2. Linear Time Complexity: The optimized version uses a bottom-up dynamic programming approach with an array to store intermediate results. Each Fibonacci number from 0 to n is calculated exactly once in a simple loop, reducing complexity to O(n).

3. Eliminated Function Call Overhead: The iterative approach removes the significant overhead of recursive function calls, stack frame allocation, and parameter passing that occurred in the original implementation.

Why This Speeds Up Runtime:

• For small values (n ≤ 10), the improvement is modest as seen in basic test cases
• For moderate values like n=30 in the performance tests, the benefit becomes substantial - the original makes over 2 million recursive calls while the optimized version makes just 30 iterations
• The optimization is particularly effective for the testBoundaryNinetyTwo_ReturnsExpectedValue test case, where n=92 would require billions of recursive calls in the original but only 92 iterations in the optimized version

Trade-offs:

The optimization uses O(n) additional space for the memoization array, which is a reasonable trade-off for the dramatic runtime improvement. The code remains correct for all test cases including edge cases (n=0, n=1), negative inputs, and overflow scenarios.

This optimization is especially valuable in scenarios where the function might be called with moderate to large values of n, or called repeatedly, as each invocation now completes in linear time rather than exponential time.
