Python: Compute a Huge Fibonacci Number Modulo m

Question

# Uses python3
# Given two integers n and m, output Fn mod m (that is, the remainder of Fn when divided by m
def Huge_Fib(n,m):

    if n == 0 : return 0
    elif n == 1: return 1
    else:
        a,b = 0,1
        for i in range(1,n):
            a, b = b, (a+b) % m
        print(b);

n,m = map(int, input().split());   
Huge_Fib(n,m);

The code works very well. However, when I run a case as n = 99999999999999999, m = 2, it takes me much time. Do you have any better solutions?

Answer 1

Here is my solution, you don't have to go through 99999999999999999 iterations if you find the pisano period.

# Uses python3
import sys

def get_fibonacci_huge(n, m):
    if n <= 1:
        return n

    arr = [0, 1]
    previousMod = 0
    currentMod = 1

    for i in range(n - 1):
        tempMod = previousMod
        previousMod = currentMod % m
        currentMod = (tempMod + currentMod) % m
        arr.append(currentMod)
        if currentMod == 1 and previousMod == 0:
            index = (n % (i + 1))
            return arr[index]

    return currentMod

if __name__ == '__main__':
    input = sys.stdin.read();
    n, m = map(int, input.split())
    print(get_fibonacci_huge(n,m))
