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

If not , you will get a message indicating that the correct value was not received , and the program will ask if you want to retry that item . If you simply mistyped the original input - reply , you should enter the code for a retry .

Since it is based on the same allowed interval for values as the pass / fail criterion , it too measures the quality of function evaluation independent of the function and argument under test . It does depend on the internal accuracy ...

As usual , if this value even approximately correct , the test passes , since we are interested in semantics rather than accuracy . The program displays the correct value and actual computed value . This test also verifies that ...
