How to set up the condition if the accuracy for e should be of 10^-14?

I have one for loop and want to calculate until the difference between reaches upto 10^-14. So should i set up the loop for that .
e = sqrt(1-(1-f^2));
e_bar = e/(sqrt(1-e^2)) ;
I need set such that it should be less.
Can any one help me to set up the condition for iterative way?
thank you

Assuming you want to loop until the accuracy e is of the order 10^-14 you can do the same for e_bar also:
a=6378137; %semi-major axis of reference ellipsoid(units are in meter)
J2 = 108263e-8; %non-normalised zonal spherical coecient(unit less)
GM =3986005e8; %gravity constant G times Mass M (m^3/s^2)
omega = 7292115e-11; %angular velocity (rad/sec)
f= 1/298 ; % approx flattening
%% first and second numeric eccentricity e and e0 with an accuracy of 10^-14
n=100000;
% keep a variable prev_e
prev_e=0;
for i=1:n
e = sqrt(1-(1-f^2));
e_bar = e/(sqrt(1-e^2)) ; %eq 3
if i==1
i=i+1;
continue;
end
i=i+1
if abs(e-prev_e)<=10^-14
break;
end
prev_e=e
end
