fpl=FixedPointList[Cos,1.0]; Last[fpl] 0.7390851332151607 Cos[%]==% True Length[fpl] 91 First[fpl] 1. The starting value; hence, there were 90 iterations. Alternatively, n=0;FixedPoint[(n++;Cos[#])&,1.0] 0.7390851332151607 Cos[%]==% True n 90 Bob Hanlon > > From: "Scott" <sguthery at gmail.com> To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net > Date: 2005/11/16 Wed AM 02:28:29 EST > Subject: [mg62234] [mg62227] FixedPoint > > Anybody know how to get FixedPoint to reveal how many iterations it had > to perform before it found the fixed point; i.e. what n was when SameQ > was satisfied and FixedPoint exited. > > Thanks for any insight. > > Cheers, Scott > >
