"""
Implements the Secant method to find the root of a function.

Parameters:
- func: The target function.
- x0: Initial guess for the root.
- x1: Another initial guess for the root.
- tol: Tolerance for stopping criterion (default is 1e-6).
- max_iter: Maximum number of iterations (default is 100).

Returns:
- root: Approximation of the root.
- iterations: Number of iterations performed.
