Fibonacci series in Swift

careful for future readers, this iterative solution is wrong. f(0) should return 0, f(1) = 1, f(2) = 1

func fibonacci(n: Int) {

    var num1 = 0
    var num2 = 1

    for _ in 0 ..< n {
    
        let num = num1 + num2
        num1 = num2
        num2 = num
    }
    
    print("result = \(num2)")
}

Using decimal you can calculate to big number.

func fibonacci(n: Int) -> [Decimal] {
    
    if n == 0 {
        return [0]
    }
    if n == 1 {
        return [0,1]
    }
    var sequence: [Decimal] = [0,1]
    var num1: Decimal = 0
    var num2: Decimal = 1
    for _ in 2 ..< n+1 {
    
        let num : Decimal = num1 + num2
        num1 = num2
        num2 = num
        sequence.append(num)
    }
    return sequence
}
print("result = \(fibonacci(n: 120))")

This is being a bit clever:

/// Generates a series of `numberOfElements` many fibonacci element, using recursion.
func fibonnaci(numberOfElements n: UInt) -> [Int] {
	let list = [0, 1]
	guard n > 2 else {
		return Array(list.prefix(Int(n)))
	}
	
	func inner(_ l: [Int]) -> [Int] {
		let m = l.count
		guard n != m else { return l }
		return inner(l + [(l[m - 2] + l[m - 1])])
	}
	
	return inner(list)
}
