<pre wrap="">Hello
I'm not fully conversant with Matlab, but offered to help my daughter
with a tutorial in Scilab ... and then Matlab!
Basically Matlab gives the 'expected' tutorial answer (n=17), and scilab
does not! Hopefully this is down to my lack of expertise, but i would
very much like understand why.
Does the problem require the use of floating-point relative accuracy
feature (%eps)?</pre>

Yes. The stopping test is<br>
<pre style="font-family:Monospaced;font-style:normal;font-size:12.0;"><span style="color:rgb(160,32,240);">if</span> <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">dif</span><span style="color:rgb(92,92,92);">/</span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">S</span> <span style="color:rgb(92,92,92);"><=</span> <span style="color:rgb(218,112,214);">%eps
break
end
</span></pre>
This stops at n=17 as well.<br>
