Truncation error

[Meghna Karkera]

When I use the same code in MATLAB I get the answer as 4.6e-06 and when I
use the same code in PYTHON I get the answer as 4.7e-06. How do I know
which is the most precise and accurate value. Actually the answer is a big
matrix, I've only compared the first entry of the matrix.
