how to write a c program to find the roots of the equation using bisection method

[aruna]

to write a c program to find the roots of the equation using bisection method
that too using array or pointers

[D_C]

1. You posted a similar thread to this, please refrain from doing that.
2. For which equation are we finding roots? What is the bijection method? A bijection is a 1-1 onto function, so "1-1 onto function method" really doesn't help. You should be more specific, then we might be able to help you.

Thanks for the headsup D_C.

help me pleaseeee

i just wrote a c program to find the roots of equation using bisection method
but there is some error prevails .i think my logic is correct please help out
this my program

/* to find the roots using bisection method*/
# include <stdio.h>
# include <conio.h>
# include<stdlib.h>
# include <math.h>
# define EPS .00001
double F(double x);
double root(double fVal1,double fVal2);

void main()
{


	double fVal1,fVal2;
	clrscr();
	printf("enter the values ");
	scanf("%f %f",&fVal1,&fVal2);
	printf("the roots of the euation is %1.9f\n",root(fVal1,fVal2));
	getch();
}
	double root(double fVal1,double fVal2)
	{
		int nCtr=0;
		double fTest1,fTest2,fTest3,fVal,fNum;

		fTest1=F(fVal1);
		fTest2=F(fVal2);
		if((fTest1*fTest2)>0)
		{
			printf("both are of equal sign");
			exit(0);
		}
		else

		{
			do
			{
				nCtr++;
				fVal1=(fVal1+fVal2)/2;
				fTest3=F(fVal);
			if(fTest1*fTest3>0)

			{
				fTest1=fTest3;
				fVal1=fVal;
			}
			else
			{
				 fTest2=fTest3;
				 fVal2=fVal;

			}
			fNum=fabs (fVal2-fVal1);


			} while(fNum>EPS);
		}
			return fabs(fVal2)>fabs(fVal1)?fVal2:fVal1;





	       }
	       double F(double x)
	       {
			return (x*x*x)+(3*x)-5;
                                                           
	       }

Firstly, as has already been stated, please do not start multiple threads about the same problem, post to your original thread. I have now merged the 2 relevent threads.

As to your code.

strangely I had to change

double fVal1,fVal2;

in main to

float fVal1,fVal2;

in order to get the correct values into the program.

A more serious error is that in

double root(double fVal1,double fVal2)
{
...
}

you declare and use a value fVal but you never initialise it to anything.

i have changed my program still iam not getting it
# include <stdio.h>
# include <conio.h>
# include<stdlib. h>
# include <math.h>
# define EPS .00001
float F(float x);
float root(float fVal1,float fVal2);

void main()
{


float fVal1,fVal2,;
clrscr();
printf("enter the values ");
scanf("%f %f",&fVal1,&fVa l2);
printf("the roots of the euation is %1.9f\n",root(f Val1,fVal2));
getch();
}
float root(float fVal1,float fVal2)
{
int nCtr=0;
float fTest1,fTest2,f Test3,fVal,fNum ;

fTest1=F(fVal1) ;
fTest2=F(fVal2) ;
if((fTest1*fTes t2)>0)
{
printf("both are of equal sign");
exit(0);
}
else

{
do
{
nCtr++;
fVal=(fVal1+fVa l2)/2;
fTest3=F(fVal);
if(fTest1*fTest 3>0)

{
fTest1=fTest3;
fVal1=fVal;
}
else
{
fTest2=fTest3;
fVal2=fVal;

}
fNum=fabs (fVal2-fVal1);


} while(fNum>EPS) ;
}
return fabs(fVal2)>fab s(fVal1)?fVal2: fVal1;





}
float (float x)
{
return (x*x)-5;

}

not getting proper o/p help me

i have just wrote a program to find the roots of the equation using bisection method
but there is some mistake iam not getting the output.comment iam getting as abnormal termination.so please help me
here is my program.

	printf("the roots of the euation is %1.9f\n",root(fVal1,fVal2));
	getch();
}
	float root(float fVal1,float fVal2)
	{
		int nCtr=0;
		float fTest1,fTest2,fTest3,fVal,fNum;

		fTest1=F(fVal1);
		fTest2=F(fVal2);

Please do NOT create multiple threads about the same problem

Please DO you the &#91;code&#9 3; and &#91;/code&#93; to delimit you code.

The posted code does not compile, please post compiling code. I would suggest that rather than typeing your code into the message box you copy and paste it from the source file once you have got the code compiling so we are all working from the same base line.

well i hope it will help you.
its simple but it works!!.
