// The equation cos(x)-x*%e^x==0 has real roots.
// the graph of this function can be observed here.
xset('window',3);
x=0:.01:2; // defining the range of x.
deff('[y]=f(x)','y=cos(x)-x*%e^x'); //defining the cunction.
y=feval(x,f);
a=gca();
a.y_location = "origin";
a.x_location = "origin";
plot(x,y) // instruction to plot the graph
title(' y = cos(x)-x*%e^x')
// from the above plot we can infre that the function has root between
// the interval (0,1)
// a=0;b=1,
// we call a user-defined function 'bisection' so as to find the approximate
// root of the equation with a defined permissible error.
bisection(0,1,f)
// since in the example 2.4 we have been asked to perform 5 itterations ,
bisection5(0,1,f)
// hence the approximate root after 5 iterations is 0.515625 witin the permissible error of 10^-4,
