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]]). | Addition is [[wikipedia:Commutative property|commutative]] in almost all number systems.

When using a limited-precision format such as 8-byte floats, the results of addition are rounded in order to fit into the result type. This rounding can cause the results of adding several numbers to be different depending on the order in which they are added, that is, addition fails to be associative: | When using a limited-precision format such as 8-byte floats, the results of addition are rounded in order to fit into the result type.
