Theory:
A potential problem in implementing the Newton-Raphson method is the evaluation of the derivative.
Although this is not inconvenient for polynomials and many other functions, there are certain functions whose
derivatives may be extremely difficult or inconvenient to evaluate. For these cases, the derivative can be
approximated by a backward finite divided
difference,

Upon substituting in Newton Raphson formula we get

Formula of numerical

Advantages

A potential problem in implementing the Newton-Raphson method is the evaluation

of the derivative.
Secant method is useful where derivative is difficult or complex

Although the secant method may be divergent, when it converges it usually does so
at a quicker rate than the false-position method.
Using this gives an advantage in that it prevents divergence, is a shortcoming with
regard to the rate of con- vergence; it makes the finite-difference estimate a less-
accurate approximation of the derivative.

Application:
It is used when derivative of a function is complicated.

the function is non converging and thus has no real root

Result:
The code has been successfully validated to calculate root using secant
method
Various pitfalls have been rectified and validated like
When initial values are root itself,
When denominator becomes zero
When the solution does not exist and nature of equation is diverging.
Errors have been displayed and run time error has been considered too.
Thus a generic code has been successfully validated for the secant method .
