WHAT DOES ROUNDING ERROR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Round-off error

A round-off error, also called rounding error, is the difference between the calculated approximation of a number and its exact mathematical value. Numerical analysis specifically tries to estimate this error when using approximation equations and/or algorithms, especially when using finitely many digits to represent real numbers. This is a form of quantization error. When a sequence of calculations subject to rounding error is made, errors may accumulate, sometimes dominating the calculation. Cases where significant error accumulates are known as ill-conditioned.

Definition of rounding error in the English dictionary

The definition of rounding error in the dictionary is an error introduced into a computation by the need to perform rounding.
