How can I get this function to run with a Tolerance of 10^-7 while keeping the same numerical outputs

function [v,err,count] = MS1_Ideal_Gas(P)

% Inputs:
R = 0.082057; % Ideal gas constant in L atm / K mol
T = 293; % Temperature in K
Tc = 416.90; % Critical temperature of Cl_2 in K
Pc = 78.72918; % Critical Pressure of Cl_2 in atm
a = ((R^2)*(Tc^(5/2)))/(9*Pc*(2^(1/3)-1));
b = (R*Tc*(2^(1/3)-1))/(3*Pc);
% P Pressure in atm

% Outputs:
% v equals molar volume (V/n) in L/mol
% err equals modulus of function evaluated at approximate root.
% count is number of iterations taken by Newton-Raphson algorithm.

if (~isscalar(P)) || (~isreal(P)) || P <= 0

A = (a*P)/((R^2)*(T^(5/2)));
B = (b*P)/(R*T);

    % Terminate with error message if iteration limit exceeded:
    if count == Iteration_limit + 1
        error('Iteration limit reached. Iteration did not converge.')
    end

    df = polyval(poly_df,Z);

    Z = Z - (f/df);   % Newton-Raphson iteration
    v = Z*R*T/P;    % Subsitiution to find v
    
    % Terminate iteration if function is sufficiently small at current
    % estimate
     if abs(f) < Tolerance

How can I get this to run with a lower tolerance to get more iteration, while keeping the same numerical answers for v?

Hello Savana,

I am assuming that the above question in the extension of your earlier question (https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/506581-how-to-get-this-help-file-to-run). Refer to the answer provided there.

In the given code Tolerance is declared as 'Tolerance = 10^7'. I think you can change the value as per your requirements and execute the script as mentioned in an earlier answer.
