# TSEvaluateWLTE
Evaluate the weighted local truncation error norm at the end of a time step with a given order of accuracy. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscts.h"  
PetscErrorCode TSEvaluateWLTE(TS ts, NormType wnormtype, PetscInt *order, PetscReal *wlte)
```
Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***ts -*** time stepping context
- ***wnormtype -*** norm type, either `NORM_2` or `NORM_INFINITY`



## Input/Output Parameter

- ***order -*** optional, desired order for the error evaluation or `PETSC_DECIDE`;
on output, the actual order of the error evaluation



## Output Parameter

- ***wlte -*** the weighted local truncation error norm





## Note
If the timestepper cannot evaluate the error in a particular step
(eg. in the first step or restart steps after event handling),
this routine returns wlte=-1.0 .
