Chapter 1, Problem 5D

Explanation of Solution

The python program in the section 1.6 is given below.

Program code: “chaos.py”

# A simple program illustrating chaotic behavior.

#define main function

def main():

  #print the statement

  print ("This program illustrates a chaotic function")

#accept the value for x from users

x = eval(input("Enter a number between 0 and 1: "))

#iterate a for loop

for i in range(10):

  #calculate the value of x

  x = 3.9 * x * (1 - x)

  #print the value of x

  print (x)

#call the main function

main()

Explanation:

The above program code is used to illustrate the chaotic function. In the code,

• The “main()” function is defined.
  • A statement is printed.
• A variable “x” is declared and accepted the values from the user.
• A “for” loop is executed.
  • The value of “x” is changed.
  • The value of “x” is printed on the screen...
