In a fashion similar to Prob. 4.4, develop your own M-file to determine the smallest
Chapter 4, Problem 4.5(choose chapter or problem)
In a fashion similar to Prob. 4.4, develop your own M-file to determine the smallest positive real number used in MATLAB. Base your algorithm on the notion that your computer will be unable to reliably distinguish between zero and a quantity that is smaller than this number. Note that the result you obtain will differ from the value computed with realmin. Challenge question: Investigate the results by taking the base-2 logarithm of the number generated by your code and those obtained with realmin
