I have data from a Multimeter that has a precision of 0.6%rdg+4dgt. So i want to take the last digit of, say, 12.007 and add 4 to the last digit like 12.011.
I'm doing RealDigits[12.007,10,5][[1,-1]]add 4 and then somehow withFromDigits get the result...it seems trivial but i don't see how.

Perhaps something like:
ClearAll[func];
func[add_, pos_: (-1)] := N@FromDigits@MapAt[# + add &, RealDigits[##], {{1, pos}}] &
func[4, -1][12.007, 10, 5]
(* 12.011` *)
func[4, -3][12.707, 10, 5]
(* 13.107` *)

$\begingroup$ it works fine but i want to use it in a rule like
{a_,b_}->{a,fun[4,-1]@b}but it seems that first apply the function to a and then the substitution rule. $\endgroup$ Commented Sep 1, 2014 at 14:11 -

:>instead of->? $\endgroup$– kglrCommented Sep 1, 2014 at 14:23 -
$\begingroup$ yep, the :> did it! thank a lot. $\endgroup$ Commented Sep 1, 2014 at 14:28
