roundoff

Simplify a number

Roundoff refers to the small error introduced when a number is approximated to fewer decimal places than its exact value: roundoff error accumulates in repeated calculations.

In computing and mathematics, roundoff describes the process or result of such approximation.

In gymnastics, a roundoff is an acrobatic move similar to a cartwheel but landing with both feet together, used to generate momentum for tumbling passes.
