  2. Rounding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rounding

    This variant of the round-to-nearest method is also called convergent rounding, statistician's rounding, Dutch rounding, Gaussian rounding, odd–even rounding, [6] or bankers' rounding. [ 7 ] This is the default rounding mode used in IEEE 754 operations for results in binary floating-point formats.

  3. Cash rounding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cash_rounding

    In Canada, cash rounding to the nearest nickel (5 cents) due to the elimination of the penny in 2013 is also called penny rounding. [ 5 ] When small-value coins are withdrawn, an alternative to the implementation of cash rounding is instead to increase the minimum unit of account to the smallest remaining currency unit and to round all prices ...

  4. Kahan summation algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kahan_summation_algorithm

    The exact result is 10005.85987, which rounds to 10005.9. With a plain summation, each incoming value would be aligned with sum, and many low-order digits would be lost (by truncation or rounding). The first result, after rounding, would be 10003.1. The second result would be 10005.81828 before rounding and 10005.8 after rounding. This is not ...

  5. Smush - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smush

    The show, set in a basement party atmosphere, featured four contestants trying to "smush" the answers to clues together to create a portmanteau.For example, the clue "A New England state + 'Flying Circus' man" would result in an answer of "Vermonty Python," formed by combining "Vermont" and "Monty Python".

  6. Unit in the last place - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_in_the_last_place

    Here we start with 0 in single precision (binary32) and repeatedly add 1 until the operation does not change the value. Since the significand for a single-precision number contains 24 bits, the first integer that is not exactly representable is 2 24 +1, and this value rounds to 2 24 in round to nearest, ties to even.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/...

    Apart from in mathematics articles, consider rounding to a reasonable resolution instead (e.g. a half farthing ≈£0.00052 not £0.0005208 3, an inch ≈0.333 palms not 0. 3 palms), or showing initial repeats before the overbar (e.g. 0.33 3). If overbars are used, consider explaining the notation on first use.

  8. Barker code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barker_code

    A Barker code has a maximum autocorrelation sequence which has sidelobes no larger than 1. It is generally accepted that no other perfect binary phase codes exist. [9] [10] (It has been proven that there are no further odd-length codes, [11] nor even-length codes of N < 10 22. [12])

  9. 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.
