x = 0 to 5 decimal places?

Hey guys

I have written a while statement...

"while z(end) ~= 0;"

Basically if z = 0 i want the while loop to end. At the moment my z comes out at 5.6843*10^-14.

This is the closest I'm going to get to 0 and I'm happy for the loop to end. How would I go about setting the while loop to close after 5 decimal places?

while abs(z(end)) > 1e-5
