Why do my loop never end?

Hi! In my function my while loop never ends and I can't understand why. I'm making the bisect algorithm and want to save every left and right x I test.
The error I get (after using ctrl + C): Operation terminated by user during bisektion2 (line 60)
The loop looks like this:
while X(i)-x(i)>tol % continue as long as the interval is longer
% than the given tolerance
i=i+1; %add 1 to i
if fxx==0
return % break and return x
end
if ((fx*fxx)<0) %if fx * fxx is <0 the answer is on the left side of the interval
X(i)=xx;
x(i)=x(i-1);
fX=fxx;
else %on the right side of the interval
x(i)=xx;
X(i)=X(i-1);
fx=fxx;
end
disp(i);
end

That means that X(i)-x(i)>tol is always true
