Math

\[\left(\left(x \cdot 3\right) \cdot y\right) \cdot y\]

↓

\[\left(x \cdot \left(3 \cdot y\right)\right) \cdot y\]

C

double code(double x, double y) {
	return (((x * 3.0) * y) * y);
}

↓

double code(double x, double y) {
	return ((x * (3.0 * y)) * y);
}

Error

Bits error versus y

Target

Original	0.3
Target	0.2
Herbie	0.2

\[\left(x \cdot \left(3 \cdot y\right)\right) \cdot y\]

Derivation

1. Initial program 0.3

   \[\left(\left(x \cdot 3\right) \cdot y\right) \cdot y\]
2. Using strategy rm

3. Applied associate-*l* 0.2

   \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(x \cdot \left(3 \cdot y\right)\right)} \cdot y\]

4. Final simplification 0.2

   \[\leadsto \left(x \cdot \left(3 \cdot y\right)\right) \cdot y\]
