Iterative Algorithms

Here, We will learn about the iterative algorithm, iteration, implementation and properties of iteration.

Iterative Algorithms:

An Iterative Algorithm that calls repeatedly but for a finite number of times.

It use constructs like loops and sometime other data structures like stacks and queues to solve the problems.

Iteration is a technique in which function call repeatedly for a finite number of times.

Implementation

public static long fib (long n)
{
    if ((n == 1) || (n == 2)){
        return 1;
    }
    else{
        long prev = 1, current = 1, next = 0;
        for (long i=3; i<=n; i++){
            next = prev + current;
            prev = current;
            current = next;
         }
        return next;
    }
}Code language: Java (java)

Properties of Iteration

  1. Iteration uses repetition structure.
  2. It terminates when the loop condition fails.
  3. It does not use the stack so it’s faster than recursion.
  4. It consumes less memory.
  5. Infinite looping uses CPU cycles repeatedly.
  6. It makes code longer.
