What is the initial value of z? edit

Is it 0 or c? panzi (talk) 03:50, 17 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

The descriptions are really bad! (We are just now trying to improve the germam version)
"c" is the point, you are evaluating. It remains constant during the iterations of this point. At the end of each loop of the iterations, you add this value to the result "z".
This is not clearly said in the description. I found this in the french document of Joe Leys.
When you start the iterations of one point, you set z=c. I have read this somewhere, that the start is defined like this.
It is an interesting thing, that this doesn't matter!
If you start with z=0 instead, you will get nearly the same result! You can calculate this on your own:
If you set z=0, you will get z=c after the first iteration-loop. This means that you just only do one iteration-loop more to get exactly the same result.--Uli Cl (talk) 22:40, 25 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
