  3. Guard digit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guard_digit

    After padding the second number (i.e., ) with two s, the bit after is the guard digit, and the bit after is the round digit. The result after rounding is 2.37 {\displaystyle 2.37} as opposed to 2.36 {\displaystyle 2.36} , without the extra bits (guard and round bits), i.e., by considering only 0.02 + 2.34 = 2.36 {\displaystyle 0.02+2.34=2.36} .

    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 ...

  5. 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.
