I think test case 2 might be incorrect.
I disagree slightly with the expected solution to test 2.
Test 2 cos between [0 2pi]
[-pi/2 pi/2 3*pi/2]
I do not believe that -pi/2 is in the interval [0 2*pi].
If -pi/2 is desired then the answer to sin [0 2*pi] should be [-2*pi -pi 0 pi 2*pi]
Correction of assert function.
One of the ")" is in the wrong place.
is:
assert(all(abs(find_zeros(@sin,0,2*pi) -[0 pi 2*pi]<1e-9)))
Should be:
assert(all(abs(find_zeros(@sin,0,2*pi) -[0 pi 2*pi])<1e-9))
As mentioned by others, the 2nd test case is incorrect, -pi/2 is outside the interal [0,2*pi] for the function cosine. And if we do plot cos(x) on said interval, we notice that the cosine function crosses the x-axis only twice.
The –pi/2 has been removed from that test case.
