Detailed Description

Generate the next integer exponent expNext for the specified input base and absolute value absx = abs(x) such that the condition absx <= base**expNext holds.

See the documentation of pm_mathExp for more information.

Parameters
[in]absx: The input scalar (or array of the same rank, shape, and size as other array-like arguments), of either,
  1. type integer of kind any supported by the processor (e.g., IK, IK8, IK16, IK32, or IK64), or
  2. type real of kind any supported by the processor (e.g., RK, RK32, RK64, or RK128),
representing the absolute value of the number for which the next integer exponent in specified base must be computed.
[in]base: The input positive scalar (or array of the same rank, shape, and size as other array-like arguments), of the same type and kind as absx, representing the base of the exponentiation.
(optional, default = 2)
Returns
expNext : The output scalar (or array of the same rank, shape, and size as other array-like arguments) of
  1. type integer of default kind IK if absx is of type real,
  2. type integer of the same kind as absx if absx is of type integer,
containing the next integer exponent.

Warning
The condition 1 < base must hold.
The condition 0 < absx must hold.
These conditions are verified only if the library is built with the preprocessor macro CHECK_ENABLED=1.
Note that setting base very near 1 can lead to very large output exponents that overflow the default integer kind IK.
For example, 1.0000001**2147483647 = 1.836644819690732e+93.
The pure procedure(s) documented herein become impure when the ParaMonte library is compiled with preprocessor macro CHECK_ENABLED=1.
By default, these procedures are pure in release build and impure in debug and testing builds.
Remarks
The procedures under discussion are elemental.
Developer Remark:
A real value of kind RK32 can represent integer values as large as huge(1_int128) = 170141183460469231731687303715884105727 = 1.70141183E+38 < huge(1._RK32) = 3.40282347E+38 << huge(1._RK64).
One can envision a distant future human society with advanced computers capable of representing higher precision integer value for which RK32 or RK64 would be insufficient.
