| Mar 20, 2013 at 11:50 | comment | added | acl | @nikie is correct; press F1 to bring up the help centre, then paste tutorial/ExactAndApproximateResults into the top bar to see this tutorial. | |
| Mar 20, 2013 at 11:37 | comment | added | Niki Estner | @hhh: "0" is an exact number. "0." is a machine-precision number, and calculations with machine-precision numbers are much faster. | |
| Mar 20, 2013 at 11:30 | comment | added | hhh | why do you the dot "0." in the term "NestWhileList[#^2+c &,0.,Abs[$]<escapeRadius&," and not "0"? | |
