This requirement is tested by assuring that values which differ by 1 in the 6th digit actually compare in the proper order ... For six digits of accuracy to be maintained , it must evaluate internally to some value between 333.3325 and ...

Accordingly , these tests apply a criterion of accuracy for the arithmetic operations which is suggested by the standard's requirement that individual numeric values be represented accurate to significant decimal digits .

and so we require that csin ( x ) equal some value taken on by sin ( x ) in the interval [ 29.1233 , 29.1235 ] . This then reduces to the test that -.7507297957 < = csin ( 29.1234 ) < = -.7505976588 . - accuracy of d want a value The ...

Finally , we must recognize that even if the value of a function is computable to high accuracy ( as with COS ( 1E - 22 ) ) , the graininess of the machine will again limit how accurately the result itself can be represented .
