Give pseudocode for the bisection method algorithm to find a zero of a continuous function.

A continuous function f(x) such that f(a) and f(b) have opposite signs, must have a zero (a point x such that f(x) = 0) in the interval [a, b].

Give a pseudocode for the bisection method algorithm Bise(f(x),a,b,error) for finding an approximation to a zero of a continuous function f(x) in the interval [a, b] accurate to within error.


Solution Summary

Solution briefly explains the working of bisection method before giving the algorithm pseudocode.
