nextfloat
nextfloat(f)
Get the next floating point number in lexicographic order
Examples
julia> nextfloat(1.0)
1.0000000000000002
julia> nextfloat(3.14)
3.1400000000000006
julia> nextfloat(2.0)
2.0000000000000004This function returns the next floating-point number in lexicographic order relative to the input f. It is useful for iterating over floating-point numbers or performing computations involving floating-point numbers.
Common mistake example:
julia> nextfloat(Inf)
InfIn this example, calling nextfloat on infinity returns infinity itself. It's important to note that nextfloat operates within the finite range of representable floating-point numbers and cannot generate numbers beyond that range.
