Is it possible to "iterate"?

Just wondering...and googling

Ah, now i see where you are coming from

MathematicsEdit

Iteration in mathematics may refer to the process of iterating a function i.e. applying a function repeatedly, using the output from one iteration as the input to the next. Iteration of apparently simple functions can produce complex behaviours and difficult problems - for examples, see the Collatz conjecture and juggler sequences.

Another use of iteration in mathematics is in iterative methods which are used to produce approximate numerical solutions to certain mathematical problems. Newton's method is an example of an iterative method. Manual calculation of a number's square root is a common use and a well-known example.

 
If memory serves:

Any of the admins; and certain mods ( who even I will not name) have the ability; and occasionally the will, to alter the avatar titles.....

Its probably best to be careful what you wish for......................... :slap
