Given a number ‘n’, how to check if n is a Fibonacci number. First few Fibonacci numbers are 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 141, ..

Examples :

Input : 8
Output : Yes

Input : 34
Output : Yes

Input : 41
Output : No

A simple way is to generate Fibonacci numbers until the generated number is greater than or equal to ‘n’. Following is an interesting property about Fibonacci numbers that can also be used to check if a given number is Fibonacci or not.

# python program to check if x is a perfect square
import math
 
# A utility function that returns true if x is perfect square
def isPerfectSquare(x):
    s = int(math.sqrt(x))
    return s*s == x
 
# Returns true if n is a Fibinacci Number, else false
def isFibonacci(n):
 
    # n is Fibinacci if one of 5*n*n + 4 or 5*n*n - 4 or both
    # is a perferct square
    return isPerfectSquare(5*n*n + 4) or isPerfectSquare(5*n*n - 4)
    
# A utility function to test above functions
for i in range(1,11):
     if (isFibonacci(i) == True):
         print i,"is a Fibonacci Number"
     else:
         print i,"is a not Fibonacci Number "

Output:

1 is a Fibonacci Number
2 is a Fibonacci Number
3 is a Fibonacci Number
4 is a not Fibonacci Number
5 is a Fibonacci Number
6 is a not Fibonacci Number
7 is a not Fibonacci Number
8 is a Fibonacci Number
9 is a not Fibonacci Number
10 is a not Fibonacci Number
