Any value (different values) I enter for TOLERANCE and ITERATION gives the same results(Answer( . It is supposed to give different answers . I don't know why this is occurring.

tol = 0.001;
n = 100;
f = @(x) (x+1-2*sin(pi*x));
fplot(f,[0,0.5])
a = 0;
b = 0.5;
pre=0;
for i = 1:n
c = (a+b)/2;
if f(c)==0
fprintf('The root is: %d\n', c)
elseif f(c)*f(b)<0
a=c;
else % !!!!!!!!!!!! Remove ELSEIF here !!!!!!!!!
b=c;
end
if abs(c-pre)<=tol
break;
end
pre=c;
end
fprintf('The root is %g with the %g tolerance in %d iterations',c,tol,i)
The root is 0.206055 with the 0.001 tolerance in 9 iterations

You exit the loop when you reach the tolerance.
What happens if you exit the loop no later than 5 iterations? Then giving 20 instead would not produce any change in output. You should display the number of iterations used as well.
