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 :)

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

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.

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

Return

Don't just guess at the syntax, read a tutorial. Plenty can be found with a simple websearch.
