Runge's test function for interpolation techniques.

runge(x)

`x`	numeric scalar.

Runge's function is a classical test function for interpolation and and approximation techniques, especially for equidistant nodes.

For example, when approximating the Runge function on the interval [-1, 1], the error at the endpoints will diverge when the number of nodes is increasing.

Numerical value of the function.
