I have a problem about fibonacci numbers: ==================

## f[i] = f[i-1] + f[i-2] (i > 2)

how can i calculate f[f[n]] mod M (n, M <= 10^9). anyone can help me?

 » 5 weeks ago, # |   +4 I guess you can try to find pisano period of M, then calculate f[n] mod P(m), where P(i) — pisano period of modulo i, and then calculate the final answer mod M.Though I'm not sure how to calculate pisano period for such big M, you can try to look for some optimizations here.(also google is your big friend here)
