This contrasts with a global variable, which is defined throughout the whole program.

Code containing global variables is harder to modify because its behaviour may depend on and affect other sections of code that refer to that variable.

  • mandelbrot set — (mathematics, graphics)   (After its discoverer, Benoit Mandelbrot) The set of all complex numbers c such that | z[N] | < 2 for arbitrarily large values of N, where z[0] = 0 z[n+1] = z[n]^2 + c The Mandelbrot set is usually displayed as an Argand diagram, giving each point a colour which depends on the largest N for which | z[N] | < 2, up to some maximum N which is used for the points in the set (for which N is infinite). These points are traditionally coloured black. The Mandelbrot set is the best known example of a fractal - it includes smaller versions of itself which can be explored to arbitrary levels of detail.
