yi+1=yi+h2[f(xi,yi)+f(xi+1,yi+1)]=yi+h2[f(xi,yi)+f(xi+1,yi+hf(xi,yi))]y_{i+1}=y_i+\frac{h}{2}[f(x_i,y_i)+f(x_{i+1}, y_{i+1})]=y_i+\frac{h}{2}[f(x_i,y_i)+f(x_{i+1}, y_{i}+hf(x_{i},y_{i}))]

where we use the Euler method for yi+1y_{i+1} on the RHS. This is an example of a prediction-correction method.
