7.12.11.4 The nexttoward functions

Synopsis

1

#include <math.h>
double nexttoward(double x, long double y);
float nexttowardf(float x, long double y);
long double nexttowardl(long double x, long double y);

Description

2

The nexttoward functions are equivalent to the nextafter functions except that the second parameter has type long double and the functions return y converted to the type of the function if x equals y.[1]

Footnotes

[1]

The result of the nexttoward functions is determined in the type of the function, without loss of range or precision in a floating second argument.
