1137. N-th Tribonacci Number
https://leetcode.com/problems/n-th-tribonacci-number/
---
The Tribonacci sequence Tn is defined as follows:
T0 = 0, T1 = 1, T2 = 1, and Tn+3 = Tn + Tn+1 + Tn+2 for n >= 0.
Given
n
, return the value of Tn.
Example 1:
Input: n = 4 Output: 4 Explanation: T_3 = 0 + 1 + 1 = 2 T_4 = 1 + 1 + 2 = 4
Example 2:
Input: n = 25 Output: 1389537
Constraints:
0 <= n <= 37
- The answer is guaranteed to fit within a 32-bit integer, ie.
answer <= 2^31 - 1
.

Intuition
Similar to Fibonacci series
F(N) = F(N - 1) + F(N - 2) + F(N - 3)
We just need last three entries, no need for full DP table

Time - O(n)
Space - O(1)
