Hi I am trying to run a while loop to calculate the error values. I am struggling to update the values in the while loop and then store them all. I need to store the number of iterations and all the error values per iteration while update the value of x_old to call my function again. I have my code posted below, but I can't get my values to update. Any helo would be appreciated.
% Exercise 2.1 Order of Convergence
clear
close
clc
% Define Variables
F = 12;
x_old = 0;
itr = 0;
epsilon_new = 1e30;
epsilon_target = 1e-6;
while epsilon_new > epsilon_target
itr = itr+1;
[x_new] = springcalc(F, x_old);
epsilon_new = abs(x_new - x_old);
eps_matrix = [epsilon_new];
x_old = x_new;
end
semilogy(itr, epsilon_matrix);
function [x_new] = springcalc(F, x_old)
k_0 = 30;
x_new = F/(k_0*(1+x_old^(0.1)));
end
