# MFNGetIterationNumber

Gets the current iteration number. If the call to `MFNSolve()` is complete, then it returns the number of iterations carried out by the solution method.

## Synopsis

    #include "slepcmfn.h"
    PetscErrorCode MFNGetIterationNumber(MFN mfn,PetscInt *its)

Not Collective

## Input Parameter

- mfn - the matrix function solver context

## Output Parameter

- its - number of iterations

## Note

During the \(i\)-th iteration this call returns \(i-1\). If `MFNSolve()` is complete, then parameter `its` contains either the iteration number at which convergence was successfully reached, or failure was detected. Call `MFNGetConvergedReason()` to determine if the solver converged or failed and why.
