  2. Significant figures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Significant_figures

    For example, to round 1.25 to 2 significant figures: Round half away from zero rounds up to 1.3. This is the default rounding method implied in many disciplines [citation needed] if the required rounding method is not specified. Round half to even, which rounds to the nearest even number. With this method, 1.25 is rounded down to 1.2.

  3. Round-off error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-off_error

    Round-by-chop: The base-expansion of is truncated after the ()-th digit. This rounding rule is biased because it always moves the result toward zero. Round-to-nearest: () is set to the nearest floating-point number to . When there is a tie, the floating-point number whose last stored digit is even (also, the last digit, in binary form, is equal ...

  4. Rounding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rounding

    Some programming languages (such as Java and Python) use "half up" to refer to round half away from zero rather than round half toward positive infinity. [4] [5] This method only requires checking one digit to determine rounding direction in two's complement and similar representations.

    3 sided football workshop, at the 1st Intergalactic Conference of the Association of Autonomous Astronauts, Public Netbase, Vienna, Austria, Summer Solstice, 1997. The first known game of 3SF, played on Friday 28 May 1993, was organized by the London Psychogeographical Association on Glasgow Green as part of the Glasgow Anarchist Summer School.

  6. Machine epsilon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_epsilon

    This alternative definition is significantly more widespread: machine epsilon is the difference between 1 and the next larger floating point number.This definition is used in language constants in Ada, C, C++, Fortran, MATLAB, Mathematica, Octave, Pascal, Python and Rust etc., and defined in textbooks like «Numerical Recipes» by Press et al.

  7. Python (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language)

    It's a free compiler, though it also has commercial add-ons (e.g. for hiding source code). Numba is used from Python, as a tool (enabled by adding a decorator to relevant Python code), a JIT compiler that translates a subset of Python and NumPy code into fast machine code. Pythran compiles a subset of Python 3 to C++ . [165]

  8. Round number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round_number

    A round number is an integer that ends with one or more "0"s (zero-digit) in a given base. [1] So, 590 is rounder than 592, but 590 is less round than 600. In both technical and informal language, a round number is often interpreted to stand for a value or values near to the nominal value expressed.
