"""
Python program to show how to interpolate and evaluate a polynomial
using Neville's method.
Neville's method evaluates a polynomial that passes through a
given set of x and y points for a particular x value (x0) using the
Newton polynomial form.

"""
Interpolate and evaluate a polynomial using Neville's method.
Arguments:
x_points, y_points: Iterables of x and corresponding y points through
which the polynomial passes.
x0: The value of x to evaluate the polynomial for.
Return Value: A list of the approximated value and the Neville iterations
table respectively.
