In numerical analysis , one or more guard digits can be used to reduce the amount of Rounding roundoff error. For example, suppose that the final result of a long, multi step calculation can be safely rounded off to N decimal places. That is to say, the roundoff error introduced by this final roundoff makes a negligible contribution to the overall uncertainty. However, it is quite likely that it is not safe to round off the intermediate steps in the calculation to the same number of digits. Be aware that roundoff errors can accumulate. If M decimal places are used in the intermediate calculation, we say there are M N guard digits. Guard Digits are also used in floating point operations in most computer systems. For the benefit of those like me who don t routinely use binary arithmetic, explicitly clarifying that this example is in binary notation would avoid significant initial confusion. Given math 2 1 0.100 2 0 0.0111 math Possible typo? Shouldn t the 0 exponent in the 2nd term 2 0 be 2 1 instead? As written, the exponent appears inconsistent with the 2nd terms in the next 3 steps of the example. we have to line up the binary points. This means we must add an extra digit to the first operand a guard digit. This gives us math 2 1 0.1000 2 1 0.0111 math . Performing this operation gives us math 2 1 0.0001 math or math 2 2 0.100 math . Without using a guard digit we have math 2 1 0.100 2 1 0.011 math . This yields math 2 1 0.001 math or math 2 1 0.100 math . This gives us a relative error of 1. Therefore we can see how important guard digits can be. An example of the error caused by floating point roundoff is illustrated in the following C programming language C code. source lang c int main float a int i a 0.2 a 0.1 a 0.3 for i 0 a 1.0 i a a printf i d a f n ,i,a return 0 ... 4 is the guard digit and the bit after is the round digit The result after rounding is 2.37 as opposed to 2.36 without the extra bits guard and round bits ,i.e by considering only 0.02 2.34 2.36.
