  • Ans. Recursive Approach
    • In this approach, we use recursion and uses a basic condition that :
      • If ‘N’ is smaller than ‘1’(N<=1) we return ‘N’
      • Else we call the function again as ninjaJasoos(N-1) + ninjaJasoos(N-2).
    • In this way, we reached our answer.
    Space Complexity: O(n)Explanation:

    O(N),  where ‘N’ is the given number.  

    As recursion uses a stack of size ‘N’
