Addition is [ | Addition is [[wikipedia:Commutative property|commutative]] in almost all number systems. It is [[wikipedia:Associative property|associative]] when performed with no rounding, but is unlikely to be associative when rounded to an inexact precision (see [[#Floating point error|Floating point error]]). | ||
