In this lab, you are tasked with implementing a Python function named fibonacci_numbers
. This function should take an integer N
as input and return a tuple of three Fibonacci numbers: the (N-1)th, Nth, and (N+1)th in the sequence.
Function Output
Your function should return a tuple of three numbers, adhering to the following rules:
- If
N
is 1 or greater, return the (N-1)th, Nth, and (N+1)th Fibonacci numbers. - If
N
is 0 or negative, return -1 for non-existent Fibonacci numbers.
Examples
-
Example 1:
- Input:
fibonacci_numbers(5)
- Output:
(3, 5, 8)
- Explanation: The 4th, 5th, and 6th Fibonacci numbers are 3, 5, and 8, respectively.
- Input:
-
Example 2:
- Input:
fibonacci_numbers(0)
- Output:
(-1, -1, 0)
- Explanation: As the 0th and -1st Fibonacci numbers do not exist, they are represented as -1. The 1st Fibonacci number is 0.
- Input:
Edge Cases
- Negative Input: For any negative input, your function should return
(-1, -1, -1)
, indicating non-existent Fibonacci indices. - Zero Input: For an input of 0, the function should return
(-1, -1, 0)
. Here, both -1 and 0 are considered as non-existent in the Fibonacci sequence context.
Focus on handling these edge cases correctly while ensuring your function accurately calculates the Fibonacci numbers for positive inputs.
