// Bisection method

// calculating root for polynomial: f(x) = x^3 - x - 2

read a, b, tolerance and max_iteration
set i = 1
while(i <= max_iteration)
set c = (a + b) / 2
if f(c)==0 or (b - a)/2 < tolerance
print "Root <value-of f(c)> found after <value-of i> iterations.
"
stop
endif
if f(c) * f(a) > 0 then a = c
else b = c
i = i + 1
end

Notes:
1. we will using math.h for the "pow" (power - n to the x) function
2. better if enclose the math expression calculation with a function
