Ruby Float next_float() method with example

Float next_float() is a float class method which returns the next representation of the floating point number.

Syntax: float.next_float()

Parameter: float value to be passed

Return: Next representation of the floating point number.

Example #1:

# Ruby program for next_float() method

# Initializing value
a = 26.00/ 3
b = 8.0999
c = 3 + 105.003

# Printing Result
puts "Next Floating Point Number : #{a.next_float}\n\n"
puts "Next Floating Point Number : #{b.next_float}\n\n"
puts "Next Floating Point Number : #{c.next_float}\n\n"

Output :

Next Floating Point Number : 8.666666666666668

Next Floating Point Number : 8.099900000000002

Next Floating Point Number : 108.00300000000001

Example #2:

# Ruby program for next_float() method

# Initializing value
a = 26.00
b = 8.0

# Printing Result
puts "Next Floating Point Number : #{a.next_float}\n\n"
puts "Next Floating Point Number : #{b.next_float}\n\n"

Output :

Next Floating Point Number : 26.000000000000004

Next Floating Point Number : 8.000000000000002
