I am sort of new to mathematica and I am struggling with how to correctly set the return of a specific function which is a procedure.



I am give the following task:
Given the map $x_n+1 = r x_n (1-x_n)$:



1- set $x_0 = 0.5$



2- write a function $f(r)$ which evaluates the first 1000 terms fo the sequence, takes the last 100 and then selects distinct elements.



This is what I came up with so far



x[0] = 0.5
f[r_]:=
l = Table[0,1000]; (*init table of 1000 elems*)
l[[1]] = x[0]; (*set x_0*)
For[n=1,n<1000,n++,

x[n] = r * x[n-1] *(1-x[n-1]); (*evaluate x_n*)
l[[n+1]] = x[n]; (*set nth elem of list*)

];
l= Union[Take[l, -100]] (*modify list*)
Return[l] (*return list*)



but this does not work at all. thanks tho everyone who is keen to partecipate and give some suggestion :)

I don't think there are any duplicates in this list ($r$ is in the chaotic region). For other values of $r$ there are indeed duplicates:

    I don't think there are any duplicates in this list ($r$ is in the chaotic region). For other values of $r$ there are indeed duplicates:



    With[r = 3.5,
    NestList[r*#*(1 - #) &, 0.5, 1000][[-100 ;;]]] // DeleteDuplicates // Sort



    0.38282, 0.500884, 0.826941, 0.874997




    // Union does the same thing as // DeleteDuplicates // Sort if you prefer.
