The following is the demoder.m used in MATLAB Demo
%Demonstration of errors of computing
clear; %Clears the whole work space
clg; %clears the graphcis window
%We are going to demonstrate the errors in
%computing f'(x) at x=1 when f(x) = sin(x), x in radians
%create a vector of x's
n=7;
x=ones(n,1);
fx = sin(x);
h = sqrt(eps)*[1000 100 10 1 .1 .01 .001 ]';
xh = x + h;
fxh = sin(xh);
dfx = (fxh - fx)./h;
actual = cos(1)*ones(size(dfx));
abserror = abs(dfx - actual);
relerror = abserror./actual;
plot(abserror)
