AB  - Purpose– The aim of this paper is to study the global behavior of a higher order nonlinear difference equation.Design/methodology/approach– The character of semicycles, periodicity, global stability and boundedness of positive solutions of the mentioned difference equation are investigated.Findings– It is deduced that, when q<1, then the positive equilibrium of this equation is globally asymptotically stable and, when q>1, then this difference equation possesses unbounded solutions.Originality/value– The paper investigates some of the characteristics of nonlinear difference equations.
