Tests to see if the correction is significant.

  

Goes back to start of loop if correction is significant.

 

Continues if correction is not significant.

Line T009 calculates the correction for Xguess. Line T013 compares the absolute value of the calculated correction with 0.0001. If the value is less than 0.0001 ("Do If True"), the program executes line T014; if the value is equal to or greater than 0.0001, the program skips to line T015.
