Nth Fibonacci

Source: https://www.algoexpert.io/questions/nth-fibonacci
Difficulty: easy
Category: Recursion


The Fibonacci sequence is defined as follows: the first number of the sequence is 0, the second number is 1, and the nth number is the sum of the (n - 1)th and (n - 2)th numbers. Write a function that takes in an integer n and returns the nth Fibonacci number.

Important note: the Fibonacci sequence is often defined with its first two numbers as F0 = 0 and F1 = 1. For the purpose of this question, the first Fibonacci number is F0; therefore, getNthFib(1) is equal to F0, getNthFib(2) is equal to F1, etc..

Sample Input #1

n = 2

Sample Output #1

1 // 0, 1

Sample Input #2

n = 6

Sample Output #2

5 // 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5
