Implement the Bisection Method - Implement the Bisection Method

Easy to misunderstand what is meant by tolerance here.

I’ve tried to explain it here:

Implement the Bisection Method - Step 8-9

I also misunderstood this one at first. The mistake is assuming what “tolerance” is. Look at this line: Look at this instruction: For example, if the tolerance is 0.01, the bisection method will keep halving the interval until the difference between the upper and lower bounds is less than or equal to 0.01. In other words, keep halving WHILE until the difference between the upper and lower bounds (high and low) is greater than the tolerance. Does it make more sense? This instruction I th…
