ErrorFromValueWithBracketedError

[this page | pdf]

Returns the error from an input (string) expression that involves a measurement together with a bracketed term (and possibly an exponent), e.g. applying this to 1.345(34)e-12 or 1.345(34)E-12 should return 0.034 x 10^(-12), whilst 1.345(34) should return 0.034 and 1.345 should return 0 (as it assumed that if there is no term in brackets the error on the base value is zero). All space spaces in the input string are ignored (it is conventional in some contexts to write, say, 1.345674(2) as 1.345 674(2)).

Please bear in mind that for this type of function the Nematrian website only accepts decimal delimiters in the form of a full stop, i.e. ‘.’ and only accepts integral exponents. As with all other Nematrian floating point functions, accuracy is limited to the machine accuracy of the Nematrian servers.
