Find the next Non-Fibonacci number

Given a number N, the task is to find the next Non-Fibonacci number.
Examples: 
 

Input: N = 4 
Output:
6 is the next non-fibonacci number after 4
Input: N = 6 
Output:
 

Approach: As the fibonacci series is given as 
 

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34…. 
 

It can be observed that there does not exists any 2 consecutive fibonacci numbers. Therefore, inorder to find the next Non-Fibonacci number, the following cases arise: 
 

  1. If N <= 3, then the next Non-Fibonacci number will be 4
  2. If N > 3, then we will check if (N + 1) is fibonacci number or not
    • If (N + 1) is a fibonacci number then (N + 2) will be the next Non-Fibonacci number. 
       
    • Else (N + 1) will be the answer

Below is the implementation of the above approach:
 

C++




// C++ implementation of the approach
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to check if a
// number is perfect square
bool isPerfectSquare(int x)
{
    int s = sqrt(x);
    return (s * s == x);
}
 
// Function to check if a
// number is Fibonacci Number
bool isFibonacci(int N)
{
    // N is Fibonacci if either
    // (5*N*N + 4), (5*N*N - 4) or both
    // is a perfect square
    return isPerfectSquare(5 * N * N + 4)
           || isPerfectSquare(5 * N * N - 4);
}
 
// Function to find
// the next Non-Fibonacci Number
int nextNonFibonacci(int N)
{
 
    // Case 1
    // If N<=3, then 4 will be
    // next Non-Fibonacci Number
    if (N <= 3)
        return 4;
 
    // Case 2
    // If N+1 is Fibonacci, then N+2
    // will be next Non-Fibonacci Number
    if (isFibonacci(N + 1))
        return N + 2;
 
    // If N+1 is Non-Fibonacci, then N+2
    // will be next Non-Fibonacci Number
    else
        return N + 1;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int N = 3;
    cout << nextNonFibonacci(N)
         << endl;
 
    N = 5;
    cout << nextNonFibonacci(N)
         << endl;
 
    N = 7;
    cout << nextNonFibonacci(N)
         << endl;
}
