Return: the number closest to first decimal value in the direction towards second decimal value.
Code #1 : Example for next_toward() method
# Python Program explaining # next_toward() method # loading decimal library from decimal import * # Initializing a decimal value a = Decimal(-1) b = Decimal('0.142857') # printing Decimal values print ("Decimal value a : ", a) print ("Decimal value b : ", b) # Using Decimal.next_toward() method print ("\n\nDecimal a with next_toward() method : ", a.next_toward(b)) print ("Decimal b with next_toward() method : ", b.next_toward(b)) |
