/*****************************************************************************
Parameter x is either the initial value of the random walk or the value last calculated by brownian(). 
Parameter w is called the window parameter because it determines the maximum amount by which 
the value of x can change at one time. Parameter B is the bounds, limiting the Brownian motion 
to within its range. This method departs from strict Brownian motion by retrying the random 
choice until the new value lies within this range.

We call the brownian() method each time we want a new Brownian number, passing it either 
an initial value or the value of its previous output. For example, the following code generated the 
function shown in figure 9.30.
*****************************************************************************/

Real x = 0.0;
Real y = 0.0;

For (Integer i = 0; i < 1000; i = i + 1) {
        x = brownian(x, 0.5, 0.5);
        y = brownian(y, 0.5, 0.5);
        PlotPoint(x, y);        // plot a point on a graph at location [x, y]
}

/*****************************************************************************
A Brownian noise signal and its power spectrum on a log-log plot are shown in figure 9.31. The 
straight line in the figure traces the contour of 1/(f*f) for reference.
