1137. N-th Tribonacci Number

1. Description

The Tribonacci sequence T$_n$ is defined as follows:
T$_0$ = 0, T$_1$ = 1, T$_2$ = 1, and T$_{n+3}$ = T$_n$ + T$_{n+1}$ + T$_{n+2}$ for n >= 0.
Given n, return the value of T$_n$.

2. Example

Example 1

Input: n = 4
Output: 4
Explanation:
T$_3$ = 0 + 1 + 1 = 2
T$_4$ = 1 + 1 + 2 = 4

Example 2

Input: n = 25
Output: 1389537

3. Constraints

• 0 <= n <= 37
• The answer is guaranteed to fit within a 32-bit integer, ie. answer <= 2$^{31}$ - 1.

4. Solutions

Dynamic Programming

Time complexity: O(n)
Space complexity: O(1)
