Pseudocode for Secant Method

Pseudocode for Secant method involves following steps in order to solve any non-linear equation with the help of computational tools:

1. Start

2. Define function as f(x)

3. Input:
	a. Initial guess x0, x1
	b. Tolerable Error e
	c. Maximum Iteration N


4. Initialize iteration counter step = 1


5. Do 
	If f(x0) = f(x1)
		Print "Mathematical Error"
		Stop
	End If

	x2 = x1 - (x1 - x0) * f(x1) / ( f(x1) - f(x0) )
	x0 = x1
	x1 = x2
	step = step + 1
	If step > N
		Print "Not Convergent"
		Stop
	End If

   While abs f(x2) > e 

6. Print root as x2

7. Stop
