DogWalker has answered your basic question.
But you don't really need the test at all.
Just print x after the loop finishes:
def IterateLogistic(x,r,n):
for i in xrange(n):
x = r*(1-x)
print x
But printing inside a function is usually not the best thing to do.
It's generally better practice to return the value and then print
the result externally:
def IterateLogistic(x,r,n):
for i in xrange(n):
x = r*(1-x)
return x
print IterateLogistic(5,2,4)
It makes your function much more reusable. You can print the result or
store it in a variable for later, or even use it directly in a bigger
more complex expression.
