The amount of loss of precision in a quantity; the difference between an accurate quantity and its calculated approximation; errors occur in numerical methods, e.g., an error introduced by the truncation of a power series defining a transcendental function. This may be classified as an error introduced by the numerical method, there is no mistake involved and the computer is operating properly; mistakes occur in programming, coding, data transcription, and operating, thus, usually humans make mistakes, e.g., assigning a wrong address when coding a problem; malfunctions occur in computers and are due to physical limitations on the properties of materials. An error is sometimes considered to be the differential margin by which a controlled unit deviates from its target value.
