In this example, we will play around with the Mandelbrotset which can be programmed in Julia using the below code. You can press "Run" below to see the output and feel free to try your own examples in this empty REPL:
function mandelbrot(a)
z = 0
for i=1:50
z = z^2 + a
end
return z
end
for y=1.0:-0.05:-1.0
for x=-2.0:0.0315:0.5
abs(mandelbrot(complex(x, y))) < 2 ? print("*") : print(" ")
end
println()
end
