Im new to python and ive been trying to implement a numerical derivative high order function but I can't modify my code to have the desired result:
def deriv(f):
return lambda x: ((f(x + h) - f(x)) / h)
But when calling the function im getting an error i cant iterpret.
Welcome to StackOverflow! Next time I suggest adding the error description in order to help us help you better.
In this case, I suppose you are probably missing the definition of the variable h. try adding this line to your code:
def derivative(f):
h=0.000001
return lambda x: ((f(x + h) - f(x)) / h)
or:
def deriv(f, h=0.000001):
return lambda x: ((f(x + h) - f(x)) / h)
