Accuracy

Accuracy[x] gives the number of digits to the right of the decimal point in the number x.

If x is not a number, Accuracy[x] gives the minimum value of Accuracy for all the numbers that appear in x.

Accuracy gives Infinity when applied to exact numbers, such as integers.

Accuracy assumes a precision of $MachinePrecision when applied to machine-precision numbers.

Accuracy can yield a negative result.
