How to output the answer to a while loop into an array

16 views (last 30 days)
I have the following code that is supposed to stop once h>1e-13, the problem that I am running into though is that the answer is supposed to be input into an array but I can't figure out how I am supposed to do that because I just keep getting an answer that is a single digit rather than an array with all of the values for h that where calculated this way.
h(1)=1;
hnew=h/2;
while hnew>=1e-13;
h=hnew;
hnew=h/2;
end
The code works like it is supposed to, but I just need to find out how to add each one of the iterations for h into an array

Maybe this is what you are going for:
h(1) = 1;
hnew = h/2;
while hnew >= 1e-13
h(end+1) = hnew;
hnew = h(end)/2;
end
disp(h);
