Now let's come up a C implementation for the trapezoidal method, using the
formula
as our basis. Suppose that we want to implement a function trapezoid
that will numerically integrate a function integrand that is defined
elsewhere in the program. What should the prototype for trapezoid look
like?

The summation that we've come up with suggests a while loop. What should the
while loop do?

Try to come up with an implementation of trapezoid before looking at our
solution.
