…to draw on my graphing calculator, but its hardware had very little RAM, and its implementation of BASIC did not support lambdas, so I had to settle for drawing individual sequences, while modulating by hand the values of x and i .
An individual sequence could look like this:
If it looks like this, repeating the iterating function with those particular values for x and i zeroes in on one consistent return value.
Or this:
If it looks like this, repeating the iterating function with …

From an early start in coding BASIC on the BBC Micro at age 5 [10 PRINT " Matthew smells"\n20 GOTO 10] and writing games on the venerable Commodore Amiga he took that fateful detour through a Philosophy degree before getting back onto the technology train, working at Cambridge University.
