I got the source code right after comparing it with the one from the site at wrox.com.
Basically, this demonstrates the for statement in lots fo style. The authors went a little overboard with this one, because things such as Mandelbrot Sets are for persons who are VERY verse in math, and so to be honest i only have a very limited understanding of how this function is capable of achieving such a complex pattern.
In full colours, this is what it looks like:-
and this is what the program printout looks like:
