Example: For the same potential as the previous example,
P(z) — 1/2 + 2, compute the velocity equipotential line starting at
z = 2 + i and proceeding to the left.
First change subroutine "B" so that it returns Re(P(2))—that is,
remove the |Re s Im | instruction from "B". Try n — 6 and h = -0.5.
(Notice that h is negative, which specifies that x^ will be to the left
ofx0.)
Although the keystrokes are not listed here, the results that would
be calculated and stored in matrix A are shown below.

The results show the nature of the top branch of the curve (the
heavier dashed line in the graph for the previous example). Note
that the step size h is automatically decreased in order to follow the
curve—rather than stop with an error—when no y-value is found
for x< 1.86.
