The task would be improved if there was a clearer description of how to calculate the constant given than the hidden, math-centric Wikipedia text. The target audience are programmers, and a I think a given method of calculation would allow for better comparison of solutions.

All the solutions seems to be based on the paper [http://keithbriggs.info/documents/how-to-calc.pdf How to calculate the Feigenbaum constants on your PC. Aust. Math. Soc. Gazette 16, 89.], from [http://keithbriggs.info Keith Briggs]. [[User:Laurence|Laurence]] ([[User talk:Laurence|talk]]) 18:04, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
==true value of Feigenbaum's constant==
Since the true value of Feigenbaum's constant isn't shown here on this Rosetta Code task, I added the displaying of it in the REXX example, along with the displaying of the number of correct decimal digits for each (<big>'''i'''</big>) iteration. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 06:28, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
[http://www.plouffe.fr/simon/constants/feigenbaum.txt Here] is the value of the Feigenbaum's constant up to 1,018 decimal places. [[User:Laurence|Laurence]] ([[User talk:Laurence|talk]]) 18:04, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
