critical

The variable m is not defined within the scope of the nth_fibonacci_util function. This will cause a NameError when the function is called with n <= 1. The correct implementation for the base case of the Fibonacci sequence is to return n.

Suggested change
return m
return n

Suggestion: In the base case of the memoized Fibonacci helper, the function returns m, which is not defined in this scope; this will raise a NameError at runtime and also contradicts the comment that the base case should return n, so the return value should be n instead. [logic error]

Severity Level: Minor ⚠️

Suggested change
return m
return n
Why it matters? ⭐

The current helper nth_fibonacci_util returns m when n <= 1, but m is not defined anywhere in the function or module — this is a real runtime NameError and contradicts the intended base case (should return n). Replacing it with return n fixes a functional bug and aligns with the surrounding comments and other Fibonacci implementations in the file.

	*Logic Error: In the base case of the memoized Fibonacci helper, the function returns `m`, which is not defined in this scope; this will raise a NameError at runtime and also contradicts the comment that the base case should return `n`, so the return value should be `n` instead.

Validate the correctness of the flagged issue. If correct, How can I resolve this? If you propose a fix, implement it and please make it concise.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🔴 Critical

Fix undefined variable in nth_fibonacci_util base case (should return n).

The base case comment says "return n", but the code returns m, which is undefined and will raise a NameError whenever this branch executes.

Suggested fix:

 def nth_fibonacci_util(n, memo):
 
     # Base case: if n is 0 or 1, return n
     if n <= 1:
-        return m
+        return n

21-21: Undefined name m

In main.py around lines 19 to 21, the base case in nth_fibonacci_util
incorrectly returns an undefined variable `m` instead of `n`; update the return
expression to return `n` (i.e., when n <= 1, return n) so the base case matches
the comment and avoids a NameError.
