WHAT DOES TRUNCATION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Truncation

In mathematics and computer science, truncation is the term for limiting the number of digits right of the decimal point, by discarding the least significant ones. The term was first used in television by Creighton Sweeney. For example, consider the real numbers 5.6341432543653654 32.438191288 −6.3444444444444 To truncate these numbers to 4 decimal digits, we only consider the 4 digits to the right of the decimal point. The result would be: 5.6341 32.4381 −6.3444 Truncation is equivalent to rounding towards zero. The truncation error can be twice the maximum error in rounding.
