The optimized code achieves a **25% runtime improvement** (from 5.69ms to 4.53ms) by replacing the exponential-time recursive Fibonacci algorithm with a **logarithmic-time fast-doubling algorithm**. **Key Changes:** 1. **Algorithm complexity reduction**: The original recursive approach has O(2^n) time complexity due to redundant recalculation of the same Fibonacci values. The optimized version uses the fast-doubling method with O(log n) time complexity, processing each bit of n exactly once. 2. **Iterative bit-traversal approach**: Instead of recursive calls, the optimization iterates through the bits of n from most significant to least significant, maintaining two Fibonacci values (a = F(k), b = F(k+1)) and doubling k at each step using the mathematical identities: - F(2k) = F(k) × (2×F(k+1) - F(k)) - F(2k+1) = F(k)² + F(k+1)² 3. **Constant space usage**: The iterative approach uses only four local variables (a, b, c, d) regardless of input size, eliminating the deep call stack overhead that grows with n in the recursive version. **Why This Is Faster:** - For inputs like n=40, the recursive version makes ~2 billion function calls, while the optimized version performs only ~6 iterations (log₂(40) ≈ 5.3) - Eliminates function call overhead entirely by using iteration - Uses efficient bit operations (`Integer.numberOfLeadingZeros`, bit shifting) instead of arithmetic comparisons - Works particularly well for the test cases shown: larger values like n=30, n=40, and n=92 see dramatic improvements, while small values (n=0, n=1, n=2) remain fast The optimization maintains identical behavior including exception handling and correctness across all test cases, making it a pure performance win with no trade-offs.

The optimized code achieves a 25% runtime improvement (from 5.69ms to 4.53ms) by replacing the exponential-time recursive Fibonacci algorithm with a logarithmic-time fast-doubling algorithm.
Key Changes:
Algorithm complexity reduction: The original recursive approach has O(2^n) time complexity due to redundant recalculation of the same Fibonacci values. The optimized version uses the fast-doubling method with O(log n) time complexity, processing each bit of n exactly once.
Iterative bit-traversal approach: Instead of recursive calls, the optimization iterates through the bits of n from most significant to least significant, maintaining two Fibonacci values (a = F(k), b = F(k+1)) and doubling k at each step using the mathematical identities:
Constant space usage: The iterative approach uses only four local variables (a, b, c, d) regardless of input size, eliminating the deep call stack overhead that grows with n in the recursive version.
Why This Is Faster:
Integer.numberOfLeadingZeros, bit shifting) instead of arithmetic comparisonsThe optimization maintains identical behavior including exception handling and correctness across all test cases, making it a pure performance win with no trade-offs.
