Hi, I am calculating certain integrals numerically and get back a number. Now, is it possible to determine how many digits is that answer accurate to? E.g., NIntegrate[ Exp[-p^2 - q^2], {p, 0, 10}, {q, 0, 10}, Method -> MonteCarlo[24], MaxPoints -> 1000000] Gives, 0.791249 How many digits is this answer accurate to? Thanks, -M
