 Question:- What is short circuit evaluation? What is short circuit evaluation?

Answer :- By short-circuiting, we mean the stoppage of

execution of boolean operation if the truth value of
expression has been determined already. The evaluation of
7

College Code -384

expression takes place from left to right. In python, short-circuiting

is supported by various boolean operators and functions.
Short-Circuiting in Boolean Operators
The chart given below gives an insight into the short-circuiting
case of boolean expressions. Boolean operators are ordered by
ascending priority.

or: When the Python interpreter scans or expression, it takes

the first statement and checks to see if it is true. If the first
statement is true, then Python returns that object’s value without
checking the second statement. The program does not bother with
the second statement. If the first value is false, only then Python
check the second value, and then the result is based on the second
half.
and: For an and expression, Python uses a short circuit technique to
check if the first statement is false then the whole statement must be
false, so it returns that value. Only if the first value is true, does it
check the second statement and return the value.
An expression containing and or stops execution when the truth
value of expression has been achieved. Evaluation takes place from
left to right.

Question:- Write a python program for how to check if a given number is Fibonacci number?

Answer:-



The Fibonacci series is a sequence of numbers in which each number

is the sum of the two preceding ones, usually starting with 0 and 1.
The sequence goes as follows: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, and so on.
This series is not only intriguing due to its inherent mathematical
properties but also widely used in various fields such as
mathematics, computer science, and nature.
Mathematical Logic
The Fibonacci series follows a simple mathematical logic. The first
two numbers in the sequence are 0 and 1. From the third number
onward, each number is the sum of the two preceding ones.
Mathematically, it can be expressed as:
Syntax :
F(n)=F(n−1)+F(n−2)

Program:-

def fibonacci_with_list(n):

fib_series = [0, 1]

for i in range(2, n):

fib_series.append(fib_series[-1] + fib_series[-2])

return fib_series

# Example usage:

n = 10

result = fibonacci_with_list(n)

print(f"Fibonacci series with {n} elements:", result)

Output :-

Fibonacci series with 10 elements: [0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21,
