I was going through the Wikipedia page, on how periodicity checking works in the bulbs of the Mandelbrot Set. I do not understand why the code stores of a new x and y value every 20th iteration. Isn't this not useful, when the period of a bulb is more than 20 ?
Here is the link to the wikipedia page:
