NearestTo

NearestTo[x] is an operator form that yields Nearest[elems,x] when applied to a list elems.

NearestTo[x,n] is an operator form that yields Nearest[elems,x,n] when applied to a list elems.

NearestTo[x,{n,r}] is an operator form that yields Nearest[elems,x,{n,r}] when applied to a list elems.

Examples

Find the nearest element:

NearestTo[2.5][{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}]
(* {3} *)

Find the 3 nearest elements:

NearestTo[2.5, 3][{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}]
(* {3, 2, 4} *)
