nextafter

Computes the element-wise next representable floating-point value of vector
a
 elements in the direction of vector
b
 elements.

Description

The
nextafter(a,b)
 function returns a vector containing the next representable floating-point values following the first vector argument elements in the direction of the second vector argument’s corresponding elements.
Arguments/Results
Error Code
Input vector argument element is finite and the corresponding result vector element value is infinite
status::overflow
Result vector element value is subnormal or zero, and different from the corresponding input vector argument element
status::underflow
Even though underflow or overflow can occur, the returned value is independent of the current rounding direction mode.

Input Parameters
Buffer API
exec_queue
The queue where the routine should be executed.
n
Specifies the number of elements to be calculated.
a
The buffer containing the 1st input vector.
sa
Slice selector for
a
. See Data Types for a description of the oneMKL slice type.
b
The buffer containing the 2nd input vector.
sb
Slice selector for
b
. See Data Types for a description of the oneMKL slice type.
sy
Slice selector for
y
. See Data Types for a description of the oneMKL slice type.
mode
Overrides the global VM mode setting for this function call. See set_mode function for possible values and their description. This is an optional parameter. The default value is
mode::not_defined
.
errhandler
Sets local error handling mode for this function call. See the create_error_handler function for arguments and their descriptions. This is an optional parameter. The local error handler is disabled by default.
