Hi Abdussamet,
A function or mathematical equation can be accepted as input from the user using an anonymous function. An anonymous function is a function that is not stored in a program file but is associated with a variable whose data type is function_handle.
Here is an example of how to accept input using an anonymous function:
userFunc = input('Please enter a function of x (use @(x) notation, e.g., @(x)x^2-2*x+4): ');
Once the function is stored inside the variable, it can be used just like any mathematical function. Below is an example demonstrating how to use it.
function root = bisectionMethod(userFunc, lowerBound, upperBound, tol)
while (upperBound - lowerBound) / 2 > tol
c = (lowerBound + upperBound) / 2;
if userFunc(c) == 0
break;
elseif userFunc(lowerBound) * userFunc(c) < 0
upperBound = c;
else
lowerBound = c;
end
end
root = (lowerBound + upperBound) / 2;
end
