I was making some calculation and got symbolic value of
ans =
3/2 - (73^(1/2)/4 - 7/4)*(73^(1/2)/4 + 7/4)
it was actually 0, but matlab didn't recognize it. I used double(syms), but the result was
ans =
-4.5278e-72
how can I make matlab recognize it as 0?

simplify() the expression

You need to specify custom tolerance.
if abs(ans) < 1e-10
ans = 0;
end
You can specify your own tolerance instead of 1e-10.
