Bisection Method for Solving non-linear equations using MATLAB(mfile)


% Bisection Algorithm
 % Find the root of y=cos(x) from o to pi.

 f = @(x) (cos(x));
 a = input('Please enter lower limit, a:  ');
 b = input('Please enter upper limit, b:  ');
 n = input('Please enter no. of iterations, n: ');
 tol = input('Please enter tolerance, tol:  ');

 fa = f(a); fb = f(b);
 i = 1;
 
 while i <= n
   c = (b - a) / 2.0;
   p = a + c;
   fp = f(p);
   if abs(fp) < 1.0e-20 | c < tol
       fprintf('\nApproximate solution p = %11.8f \n \n',p);
       break;
   else
       i = i+1;
       if fa*fp > 0
          a = p;
          fa = fp;
       else
          b = p;
          fb = fp;
       end
   end
end
