Description
|
|
•
|
The ApplyRule( expr, rule ) command applies the specified rounding rule rule to all Quantity objects in expr.
|
•
|
If the optional parameter rule is given, rule is used to perform any rounding operations. Otherwise, the default rounding rule is used ('digits', or as set by UseRule).
|
|
The rule may require an index.
|
•
|
All Quantity objects are replaced by new Quantity objects with a central value and absolute uncertainty rounded according to the specified rule.
|
|
In the case of the rule 'digits', no rounding is performed.
|
|
A Quantity object is rounded by passing its central value and absolute uncertainty to a procedure that performs the action of the particular rule. The procedure returns the new central value and absolute uncertainty, which ApplyRule places in a new Quantity(...) object.
