Computes machine epsilon (εm). use a while loop to accomplish this. start with εm equaling 1. in each successive loop compute εm = εm / 2. exit the loop when variable 1 + εm equals 1. multiply the result coming out of this loop by 2 and you have computed machine epsilon for your computer. this function should have the following structure: def matchups(): epsilon = 1.0 … return epsilon script files are executable files.
