nextafter#

ivy.nextafter(x1, x2, /, *, out=None)[source]#

Return the next floating-point value after x1 towards x2, element-wise.

Parameters:

  • x1 (Union[Array, NativeArray]) – First input array.

  • x2 (Union[Array, NativeArray]) – Second input array.

  • out (Optional[Array]) – Alternate output array in which to place the result. (default: None) The default is None.

Return type:

bool

Returns:

ret – The next representable values of x1 in the direction of x2.

Examples

>>> x1 = ivy.array([1.0e-50, 2.0e+50])
>>> x2 = ivy.array([2.0, 1.0])
>>> ivy.nextafter(x1, x2)
ivy.array([1.4013e-45., 3.4028e+38])
Array.nextafter(self, x2, /, *, out=None)#

ivy.Array instance method variant of ivy.nextafter. This method simply wraps the function, and so the docstring for ivy.nextafter also applies to this method with minimal changes.

Parameters:

  • self (Array) – First input array.

  • x2 (Array) – Second input array.

  • out (Optional[Array]) – Alternate output array in which to place the result. (default: None) The default is None.

Return type:

Array

Returns:

ret – The next representable values of x1 in the direction of x2.

Examples

>>> x1 = ivy.array([1.0e-50, 2.0e+50])
>>> x2 = ivy.array([2.0, 1.0])
>>> x1.nextafter(x2)
ivy.array([1.4013e-45., 3.4028e+38])
Container.nextafter(self, x2, /, *, key_chains=None, to_apply=True, prune_unapplied=False, map_sequences=False, out=None)#

ivy.Container instance method variant of ivy.nextafter. This method simply wraps the function, and so the docstring for ivy.nextafter also applies to this method with minimal changes.

Parameters:

  • self (Container) – Input container containing first input array.

  • x2 (Container) – Input container containing second input array.

  • key_chains (Optional[Union[List[str], Dict[str, str]]]) – The key-chains to apply or not apply the method to. Default is None. (default: None)

  • to_apply (bool) – If True, the method will be applied to key_chains, otherwise key_chains (default: True) will be skipped. Default is True.

  • prune_unapplied (bool) – Whether to prune key_chains for which the function was not applied. (default: False) Default is False.

  • map_sequences (bool) – Whether to also map method to sequences (lists, tuples). (default: False) Default is False.

  • out (Optional[Container]) – Alternate output array in which to place the result. (default: None) The default is None.

Return type:

Container

Returns:

ret – container including the next representable values of input container’s arrays, element-wise

Examples

>>> x1 = ivy.Container(a=ivy.array([1.0e-50, 2.0e+50]),        ...                         b=ivy.array([2.0, 1.0])
>>> x2 = ivy.Container(a=ivy.array([5.5e-30]),        ...                         b=ivy.array([-2.0]))
>>> x1.nextafter(x2)
{
    a: ivy.array([1.4013e-45., 3.4028e+38]),
    b: ivy.array([5.5e-30])
