Nth Fibonacci number matrix solution

It’s easy to implement a 2^n recursive solution and also easy to implement an iterative O(n) solution but implementing an O(log n) solution is trickier. The following has a nice summary of various solutions: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/program-for-nth-fibonacci-number/ I just wanted to add … Continue reading
