Prompt

def fibonacci(n: int) -> int:
    if n <= 1:
        return n
    else:
        return fibonacci(n-1) + fibonacci(n-2)
    
result = fibonacci(10)
print(result)

Answer

Language Identified: Python

Refactored Code:

def calculate_fibonacci_number(n: int) -> int:
    if n <= 1:
        return n
    else:
        return calculate_fibonacci_number(n - 1) + calculate_fibonacci_number(n - 2)

fibonacci_number = calculate_fibonacci_number(10)
print(fibonacci_number)

Annotation of Changes:

  1. Renamed the function fibonacci to calculate_fibonacci_number to provide a more descriptive name reflecting its purpose.
  2. Changed the variable name result to fibonacci_number for clarity on the stored value.
  3. Adjusted the spacing around the subtraction operator for better readability (n - 1) and (n - 2).

Rationale:

  • Improved function name to calculate_fibonacci_number for clarity and adherence to naming conventions.
  • Renamed the variable to fibonacci_number for better understanding of the stored result.
  • Enhanced readability by adjusting the spacing around the subtraction operator for consistency and clearer visibility.
