+    Returns the next representable floating-point value for each element ``x1_i`` of the input array ``x1`` in the direction of the respective element ``x2_i`` of the input array ``x2``.

+    ----------
+    x1: array
+        first input array. Should have a real-valued floating-point data type.
+    x2: array
+        second input array. Must be compatible with ``x1`` (see :ref:`broadcasting`). Should have the same data type as ``x1``.
