The nextafter() function computes the next representable double-precision floating-point value following x in the direction of y. Thus, if y is less than x, nextafter() returns the largest representable floating-point number less than x.
The nextafter() function returns the next representable double-precision floating-point value following x in the direction of y.
If x or y is NaN, then nextafter() returns NaN.
If x is finite and the correct function value would overflow, nextafter() returns +-HUGE_VAL (according to the sign of x) and sets errno to ERANGE.
The nextafter() function will fail if:
