This line introduces a NameError because the variable m is not defined within the function's scope. The base case for the Fibonacci sequence is that for n <= 1, the function should return n. The original code was correct.

Suggested change
return m
return n

Suggestion: In the memoized Fibonacci utility, the base case returns an undefined variable, which will raise a NameError at runtime the first time the base case is hit, and also fails to return the correct Fibonacci value for 0 or 1. [possible bug]

Why it matters? ⭐

The PR's current file state shows nth_fibonacci_util has the base-case "return m" (line 21 in the new hunk). "m" is not defined anywhere in that scope — calling nth_fibonacci_util(0, memo) or nth_fibonacci_util(1, memo) will raise a NameError and also return the wrong value. Replacing it with "return n" fixes the runtime bug and returns the correct Fibonacci value for 0 and 1. This is a real bug, not a cosmetic change.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🔴 Critical

Critical: Undefined variable causes NameError.

The return statement references an undefined variable m, which will cause a NameError at runtime when the base case is reached (n ≤ 1). This completely breaks the memoized Fibonacci implementation.

-        return m

21-21: Undefined name m

(F821)

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In main.py around line 21, the base-case return uses an undefined variable `m`
causing a NameError; replace `return m` with `return n` so the function returns
the correct Fibonacci value for n ≤ 1 and preserves the memoized implementation.
