# C++ program to implement Inverse Interpolation using Lagrange Formula

C++Server Side ProgrammingProgramming

In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to implement Inverse Interpolation using Lagrange formula.

Inverse Interpolation is defined as the method of finding the value of an independent variable from the given value of dependent value lying between two tabulated set of values for an unknown function.

## Example

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
//structuring the values of x and y
struct Data {
double x, y;
};
//calculating inverse interpolation
double calc_invinter(Data d[], int n, double y){
double x = 0;
int i, j;
for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
double xi = d[i].x;
for (j = 0; j < n; j++) {
if (j != i) {
xi = xi * (y - d[j].y) / (d[i].y - d[j].y);
}
}
x += xi;
}
return x;
}
int main(){
Data d[] = {
{ 1.27, 2.3 },
{ 2.25, 2.95 },
{ 2.5, 3.5 },
{ 3.6, 5.1 }
};
int n = 6;
double y = 4.5;
cout << "Value of x (y = 4.5) : " << calc_invinter(d, n, y) << endl;
return 0;
}

## Output

Value of x (y = 4.5) : 2.51602
