Newton's Forward Difference Method

This MATLAB function uses Newton's forward difference formula to estimate the value of a function y at a given x value xg, by taking the x and y value pairs as inputs and calculating the forward difference table, then estimating yg as the sum of y1 plus the weighted differences. It displays the input x and y values, the calculated forward difference table, and estimated yg value.
