Defined in header <cmath>

(1) (since C++11)
double      nextafter( double from, double to );
(2) (since C++11)

Promoted    nextafter( Arithmetic from, Arithmetic to );

float       nexttoward( float from, long double to );
(5) (since C++11)
double      nexttoward( double from, long double to );
(6) (since C++11)
long double nexttoward( long double from, long double to );
(7) (since C++11)
double      nexttoward( Integral from, long double to );
(8) (since C++11)

Returns the next representable value of from in the direction of to. If from equals to to, to is returned.

1-3) If from equals to to, to is returned.
5-7) If from equals to to, to is returned, converted from long double to the return type of the function without loss of range or precision.
4,8) If any argument has integral type, it is cast to double. If any other argument is long double, then the return type is long double, otherwise it is double

If from is finite, but the result of nextafter or nexttoward is infinite, range error occurs and FE_OVERFLOW and FE_INEXACT may be raised.

If the result is subnormal or zero and from != to, raises FE_UNDERFLOW and FE_INEXACT.

In any case, the returned value is independent of the current rounding mode.

[edit] Parameters

from, to - floating point values

[edit] Return value

the next representable value of from in the direction of to.

[edit] Example

#include <cmath>
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
 
int main()
{
    std::cout << "0.1 lies between the doubles " << std::setprecision(100) << '\n'
              << 0.1 << '\n' << " and\n"
              << std::nextafter(0.1, 0) << '\n';
}

Output:

0.1 lies between the doubles 
0.1000000000000000055511151231257827021181583404541015625
