/**
* We have only defined the nth Fibonacci number in terms of the two before it. Now, we will look at Binet's formula to calculate the nth Fibonacci number in constant time.
* The Fibonacci terms maintain a ratio called golden ratio denoted by Φ, the Greek character pronounced ‘phi'.
* First, let's look at how the golden ratio is calculated: Φ = ( 1 + √5 )/2 = 1.6180339887...
* Now, let's look at Binet's formula: Sn = Φⁿ–(– Φ⁻ⁿ)/√5
* We first calculate the squareRootof5 and phi and store them in variables. Later, we apply Binet's formula to get the required term.
* Time Complexity will be O(1)
