In mathematics, and more specifically in numerical analysis, the trapezoidal rule (also known as the trapezoid rule or trapezium rule) is a technique for approximating the
In numerical analysis, the trapezoidal rule is used for approximation of a definite integral. The code here is a general purpose code for any equation.

function integral = trapezoidal(f, a, b, n)
Line 12:
integral = h*result;
end
 
f is the equation, a is the lower limit, b is the upper limit, and n is the number of trapezoids or number of integration points.
