| This algorithm is based on the fact that : | |

| Detailed Explanation: | |
| First calculate f(1) and f(2), and then find out the binary value | |
| of the N. | |
| Iterate over the Binary array upto second last element. | |
| Now if the next value in the array containing binary digits of N is '1', | |
| then we have to calculate f(2) (f(2n)) and f(3) (f(2n+1)) first and then from these calculate | |
| f(4) using the traditional approach. Now we've f(3) and f(4). f1 =f(3) and f(4) =f2 | |
| If the next binary value was '0' then we only calculate f(2) and f(3) and move on. | |
| i.e. f(2n) and f(2n+1) | |
| In the end f1 is the answer. | |
