Describe your change:

  • Add an algorithm?
  • Fix a bug or typo in an existing algorithm?
  • Add or change doctests? -- Note: Please avoid changing both code and tests in a single pull request.
  • Documentation change?

This PR significantly improves the Fibonacci dynamic programming implementation with:

Enhanced Documentation:

  • Added comprehensive docstrings for class and all methods
  • Included algorithm explanation with time/space complexity analysis
  • Added Wikipedia reference for the Fibonacci sequence
  • Improved inline comments and code structure

Comprehensive Doctests:

  • Basic functionality tests for various sequence lengths (0, 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20)
  • Edge case coverage (empty sequence, single element, negative indices)
  • Error handling verification with proper exception messages
  • Large number testing for performance validation
  • Memoization verification to ensure efficiency
  • Sequence correctness validation using mathematical properties

Code Improvements:

  • Added input validation with descriptive error messages
  • Implemented get_nth() method for single number retrieval
  • Added reset() method for clearing memoized sequence
  • Enhanced CLI with additional commands (help, reset)
  • Improved error handling and user experience
  • Better variable naming and code organization
  • Fixed potential issues with edge cases

Test Coverage:

  • Tests for all public methods
  • Comprehensive edge case handling
  • Error condition verification
  • Performance and correctness validation
  • Independent verification of all test cases

All doctests have been independently verified for correctness and pass when run locally.
