Iterated Map


An iterated map is a map that is applied repeatedly to an object. The Wolfram Language function NestList[f, expr, n] gives a list of the results of iterating the function f n times on the initial expression expr. Similarly, Nest[f, expr, n] gives the last element of this list, i.e., the result after n iterations.
