  2. 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.

  3. Python (programming language) - Wikipedia

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

    For tie-breaking, Python 3 uses round to even: round(1.5) and round(2.5) both produce 2. [118] Versions before 3 used round-away-from-zero: round(0.5) is 1.0, round(-0.5) is −1.0. [119] Python allows Boolean expressions with multiple equality relations in a manner that is consistent with general use in mathematics.

  4. Round-off error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-off_error

    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 to 0) is used.

  5. Rounding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rounding

    3.25 RPSP to 1/2 ⇒ result is 3.5; 3.5 round-half-to-even to 1 ⇒ result is 4 (wrong) If the erroneous middle step is removed, the final rounding to integer rounds 3.25 to the correct value of 3. RPSP is implemented in hardware in IBM zSeries and pSeries.

    function plot (x, y, c) is plot the pixel at (x, y) with brightness c (where 0 ≤ c ≤ 1) // integer part of x function ipart (x) is return floor (x) function round (x) is return ipart (x + 0.5) // fractional part of x function fpart (x) is return x-ipart (x) function rfpart (x) is return 1-fpart (x) function drawLine (x0, y0, x1, y1) is boolean steep:= abs (y1-y0) > abs (x1-x0) if steep ...

  7. Numeric precision in Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeric_precision_in...

    Excel maintains 15 figures in its numbers, but they are not always accurate; mathematically, the bottom line should be the same as the top line, in 'fp-math' the step '1 + 1/9000' leads to a rounding up as the first bit of the 14 bit tail '10111000110010' of the mantissa falling off the table when adding 1 is a '1', this up-rounding is not undone when subtracting the 1 again, since there is no ...

  8. Percentile rank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentile_rank

    Percentile ranks (PRs or percentiles) compared to Normal curve equivalents (NCEs). In educational measurement, a range of percentile ranks, often appearing on a score report, shows the range within which the test taker's "true" percentile rank probably occurs.

  9. NumPy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NumPy

    NumPy (pronounced / ˈ n ʌ m p aɪ / NUM-py) is a library for the Python programming language, adding support for large, multi-dimensional arrays and matrices, along with a large collection of high-level mathematical functions to operate on these arrays. [3]
