{{incorrect|Lua|The task specifically asks for iteration until successive values differ by 10^-5.}}
<p>When representated as a 64-bit floating point value, it takes 38 iterations before the iterated value is indistinguishable from the calculated one.</p>
<p>The stipulation to stop when the error is less than 1e-5 is presumably to prevent calculations with arbitrary-precision values from continuing infinitely.</p>
