public static double nexttoward(
	double fromNumber,
	double towardNumber
)

Public Shared Function nexttoward ( 
	fromNumber As Double,
	towardNumber As Double
) As Double

public:
static double nexttoward(
	double fromNumber, 
	double towardNumber
)

static member nexttoward : 
        fromNumber : float * 
        towardNumber : float -> float 

Parameters

fromNumber

Type: SystemDouble
A floating-point number.

towardNumber

Type: SystemDouble
A floating-point number.

Return Value

IEC 60559 recommends that fromNumber be returned whenever fromNumber == towardNumber. These functions return towardNumber instead, which makes the behavior around zero consistent: nexttoward(-0.0, +0.0) returns +0.0 and nexttoward(+0.0, -0.0) returns –0.0.

The nexttoward(Double, Double) function is equivalent to the nextafter(Double, Double) function.

See nexttoward in the C standard documentation.
