Hello! This is the first time i am posting a question so i apologize if i format it incorrectly.
I am trying to create a while loop that will determine how many iterations are needed for the percent error between the taylor series for sin and the matlab sin() function to be below 2%. The code i currently have just continues to run without an end in sight. Here's what i have:
x=sym('x')
x=input('Enter a scalar value for x.')
n=0:100000;
e=100000;
k=0;
while e>2
for i=1:length(n)
y(i)=((-1).^n(i))*((x.^(2*n(i))+1)/factorial((2*n(i))+1));
k=k+n(i);
u=sin(x);
e=((abs(u-k)/abs(k))*100);
end
end
fprintf('Percent Error:%d',e)
For reference i am using the generalized version of the Taylor series that is attached.
Thank you in advance!
