  errorPart(Value[, Uncertainty is relative])

  Returns the absolute (default) or relative uncertainty/error of a numerical value.

  Arguments.

  - Value: a number

  - Uncertainty is relative: a boolean (0 or 1) (optional, default: 0)

Interval

  interval(Lower endpoint, Upper endpoint)

  Returns a closed interval with the specified endpoints.

  Arguments.

  - Lower endpoint: a number

  - Upper endpoint: a number

Lower Endpoint (interval)

  lowerEndpoint(Value)

  Returns the lower endpoint of a numerical interval.

  Arguments.

  - Value: a number

Midpoint (interval)

  midpoint(Value)

  valuePart

  Returns the midpoint between the endpoints of a numerical interval, or the value part of a value with uncertainty/error.

  Arguments.

  - Value: a number

Uncertainty

  uncertainty(Value, Uncertainty[, Uncertainty is relative])

  Specifies the absolute or relative (default) uncertainty/error of a value.

  Arguments.

  - Value: a number

  - Uncertainty is relative: a boolean (0 or 1) (optional, default: 1)

Upper Endpoint (interval)

  upperEndpoint(Value)

  Returns the upper endpoint of a numerical interval.

  Arguments.

  - Value: a number
