solveToZero

Perform iterative calculations, changing one variable until another reaches zero.

solveToZero(
    functionToSolve,
    startingValue=0
)

Arguments

functionToSolve

The function that should be solved to zero. Currently, this can only be another variable that can contain a function that should be solved.

startingValue

The starting value for the variable that calls this function. By default, the starting value is zero.

Examples

x = solveToZero(y,0.01)
y = x^2 - 4

This would change x, until y is solved to 0. Because the starting value was >0, x will solve to 2 (as opposed to -2 if the starting value was <0)
