I'll break down the benchmark test cases and explain what's being tested, compared, and considered.
Benchmark Definition JSON
The provided Benchmark Definition JSON contains a simple recursive Fibonacci function and an iterative implementation of the same function. The JSON specifies that:
Individual Test Cases
There are two test cases:
This test case measures the performance of a recursive Fibonacci implementation:
function fibonacciR(n){\r\n\r\n if(n===2){\r\n return 1;\r\n }\r\n if(n===1){\r\n return 0;\r\n } else {\r\n return fibonacciR(n-1) + fibonacciR(n-2);\r\n }\r\n \r\n}\r\nfibonacciR(33)\r\n"
The test case simply executes this function with n=33
.
Pros:
Cons:

.This test case measures the performance of an iterative Fibonacci implementation:
function getNthFib(n) {\r\n let prev = 0;\r\n let result = 0;\r\n for(let i =0; i<n-1; i++){\r\n if(i===0){\r\n result = 1;\r\n } else {\r\n result +=prev;\r\n prev = result-prev;\r\n }\r\n \r\n }\r\n return result;\r\n}\r\ngetNthFib(33)\r\n"
The test case executes this function with n=33
, using a simple loop to calculate the Fibonacci number.
Pros:
Cons:
Comparison
Both implementations are designed to calculate the 33rd Fibonacci number. The main difference lies in the approach:
rec
) uses a top-down approach with repeated function calls, which can lead to performance issues for large values of n
.for
) uses a bottom-up approach with a loop, which is generally more efficient and scalable.Library Considerations
None of the provided implementations rely on external libraries or frameworks. However, in real-world scenarios, Fibonacci calculations might involve additional mathematical concepts or optimizations that could be implemented using libraries like NumJS or Math.NET for JavaScript.
Special JS Features
Neither implementation relies on any special JavaScript features beyond basic syntax and semantics. The recursive implementation uses a simple if-else statement to handle base cases, while the iterative implementation employs a standard for
loop with incrementation.
Other Alternatives
For measuring Fibonacci performance, you might consider alternative approaches:
Keep in mind that the best approach depends on the specific use case, performance requirements, and constraints.
