Benoit B. Mandelbrot was a Polish-born, French and American mathematician, noted for developing the field of fractal geometry , which included coining the word "fractal". He later discovered the Mandelbrot set of intricate, never-ending fractal shapes, named in his honor.

This program generated the most famous Mandelbrot figure on a machine developed 20 years before Fractals were identified.

The IBM 1401 does not have the ability to work with floating point numbers so all of the
math  has to be done with  integer math.
The program is CPU time intensive but fun to watch if you know what is going on in the program.

The program will terminate with a halt.
If you want to run it again, set sense switch G on, and press start.

If you don’t want to run it again, leave sense switch G off and when you press start, it will look for and read in the next program.
