In some rare cases, round-off error can cause the result of an operation to have no correct significant digits at all. When this happens, an exception of type TotalLossOfPrecisionException is thrown.

Round-off errors are the result of the finite precision of floating-point numbers. Only a few numbers can be represented exactly. The main contributing factor to total loss of precision is when two numbers of approximately equal size are subtracted.
