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:
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.

For a specific value of $r$ you can do
With[r = 3.7,
NestList[r*#*(1-#) &, 0.5, 1000][[-100 ;;]]]

Curly braces are for lists, not for code blocks. Use
Module
,Block
, orWith
for code blocks. And try not to useFor

Return
doesn't do what you think it does. Don't use it until you understand it. Once you understand it, you'll probably never use it.$endgroup$

You might also look into

as an alternative, built-in way to iterate this map.$endgroup$
