How to get each iteration to be outputted in a while loop?

In the attached document, I cant get each iteration of the taylor series to display until the difference is so close to zero where it stops. There are a series of sections in the equation, but i cant get each one to display. My 'estimate' variable is where the equation lies.

A few things:

1. I think your variable Estimate is defined incorrectly. Check to make sure it matches the equation in your pdf.

2. No need for the line of code Previous = count.

3. You are not summing the terms in the series. So when you define Estimate, it should be something like:

Estimate = Estimate + ...

4. Now to display the current value so you can watch it as it converges, I suggest putting something like fprintf inside your while loop:

fprintf('%d\t%0.3f\n',count,Estimate);

Make sure to put semicolons at the end of each variable definition so they do not print to the Command Window.

Hope this helps.
