How to find the accuracy of decimal places between the integral approximation and the MATLAB built-in integral function? Eg: if my approximation is 0.50000000 and the true value is 0.52359878, and error is 0. 0 2359878, there is one 0 in front of the error value, '0.0', so the Decimal place will be 1, and when approximation is 0.51666667, error will be 0. 00 693211, there is two 0 , so decimal place will be 2.
Also, how do i only print the approximation and the error values when the decimal place has increased by 1?

You can use the following formula to calculate the number of zeros after decimal position and first non-zero digit
floor(-log10(error))
To only print when accuracy is increased do the following
bestAccuracy = 0;
while bestAccuracy < 10
integralValue = % calculate your integral here
error = % calculate yor error here
accuracy = floor(-log10(error));
if accuracy > bestAccuracy
bestAccuracy = accuracy;
disp(error);
end
end
This loop will run till best accuracy will become 10.

Yes. If you want to have 8 zeros after decimal points, then use bestAccuracy < 8.
