Nextafter Function In Numpy

In this article, we will discuss the "nextafter" function in NumPy.

Next Floating-Point Value

The next floating-point value is the smallest positive infinitesimal value. For example, the smallest positive value after one is 2.220446049250313e-16. So, if you add one and 2.220446049250313e-16 then the result would be 1.0000000000000002.

Nextafter Function

This function returns the next smallest positive infinitesimal value after x1 and towards x2.

Syntax

Numpy.nextafter(x1, x2)

Example

import numpy as np

print("Next smallest positive infinitesimal value after 1 is:", np.nextafter(1, 2))
