<valarray> operators

operator!=

Tests whether the corresponding elements of two equally sized valarray objects are unequal, or whether all the elements of a valarray are unequal to a specified value.

template <class Type>
valarray<bool>
operator!=(
    const valarray<Type>& left,
    const valarray<Type>& right);

template <class Type>
valarray<bool>
operator!=(
    const valarray<Type>& left,
    const Type& right);

template <class Type>
valarray<bool>
operator!=(
    const Type& left,
    const valarray<Type>& right);

Parameters

left
A valarray object whose elements are to be tested for inequality against another valarray object, or a value of element type to compare against each element in a valarray.

right
A valarray object whose elements are to be tested for inequality against another valarray object, or a value of element type to compare against each element in a valarray.

Return value

A valarray of Boolean values, each of which is:

  • true if the corresponding elements are unequal.

  • false if the corresponding elements are equal.

Remarks

The first template operator returns an object of class valarray<bool>, each of whose elements I is left[I] != right[I].

The second template operator stores left[I] != right in element I.

The third template operator stores left != right[I] in element I.

Example

// compile with: /EHsc
#include <valarray>
#include <iostream>

int main( )
{
   using namespace std;
   int i;

   valarray<int> vaL ( 10 ), vaR ( 10 );

      vaL [ i ] =  -i;
   for ( i = 1 ; i < 10 ; i += 2 )
      vaL [ i ] =  i;
   for ( i = 0 ; i < 10 ; i++ )

      for ( i = 0 ; i < 10 ; i++ )
         cout << vaL [ i ] << " ";
   cout << ")." << endl;

Parameters

left
A value or valarray that serves as the dividend into which another value or valarray is to be divided.

right
A value or valarray that serves as the divisor and that divides another value or valarray.

Return value

A valarray whose elements are the element-wise remainders of left divided by right.

Example

// valarray_op_rem.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <valarray>
#include <iostream>

int main( )
{
   using namespace std;
   int i;

   valarray<int> vaL ( 6 ), vaR ( 6 );

      vaL [ i ] =  -67;
   for ( i = 0 ; i < 6 ; i++ )
      vaR [ i ] =  3*i+1;

   cout << "The initial Left valarray is: ( ";
      for ( i = 0 ; i < 6 ; i++ )
         cout << vaL [ i ] << " ";
   cout << ")." << endl;

      for ( i = 0 ; i < 6 ; i++ )
         cout << vaR [ i ] << " ";
   cout << ")." << endl;

        << "division is the\n"
        << "valarray: ( ";
      for ( i = 0 ; i < 6 ; i++ )

The initial Right valarray is: ( 1 4 7 10 13 16 ).
The remainders from the element-by-element division is the
valarray: ( 0 -3 4 -7 1 -3 ).

operator&

Obtains the bitwise AND between corresponding elements of two equally sized valarray objects, or between a valarray and a specified value of the element type.

template <class Type>
valarray<Type>
operator&(
    const valarray<Type>& left,
    const valarray<Type>& right);

template <class Type>
valarray<Type>
operator&(
    const valarray<Type>& left,
    const Type& right);

template <class Type>
valarray<Type>
operator&(
    const Type& left,
    const valarray<Type>& right);

Parameters

left
The first of the two valarray objects whose respective elements are to be combined with the bitwise AND, or a specified value of the element type to be combined by bitwise AND with each element of a valarray.

right
The second of the two valarray objects whose respective elements are to be combined with the bitwise AND, or a specified value of the element type to be combined by bitwise AND with each element of a valarray.

Return Value

A valarray whose elements are the element-wise combination of the bitwise AND operation of left and right.

Remarks

A bitwise operation can only be used to manipulate bits in char and int data types and variants and not on float, double, long double, void, bool or other, more complex data types.

The bitwise AND has the same truth table as the logical AND but applies to the data type on the level of the individual bits. The operator&& applies on an element level, counting all nonzero values as true, and the result is a valarray of Boolean values. The bitwise AND operator&, by contrast, can result in a valarray of values other than 0 or 1, depending on the outcome of the bitwise operation.

Example

// valarray_op_bitand.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <valarray>
#include <iostream>

int main( )
{
   using namespace std;
   int i;

   valarray<int> vaL ( 10 ), vaR ( 10 );
   valarray<int> vaBWA ( 10 );
   for ( i = 0 ; i < 10 ; i += 2 )
      vaL [ i ] =  0;
   for ( i = 1 ; i < 10 ; i += 2 )
      vaL [ i ] =  i+1;
   for ( i = 0 ; i < 10 ; i++ )
      vaR [ i ] =  i;

   cout << "The initial Left valarray is:  ( ";
      for ( i = 0 ; i < 10 ; i++ )
         cout << vaL [ i ] << " ";
   cout << ")." << endl;

   cout << "The initial Right valarray is: ( ";
      for ( i = 0 ; i < 10 ; i++ )
         cout << vaR [ i ] << " ";
   cout << ")." << endl;

   vaBWA = ( vaL & vaR );
   cout << "The element-by-element result of "
        << "the bitwise operator & is the\n"
        << "valarray: ( ";
      for ( i = 0 ; i < 10 ; i++ )
         cout << vaBWA [ i ] << " ";
   cout << ")." << endl;
}
The initial Left valarray is:  ( 0 2 0 4 0 6 0 8 0 10 ).
The initial Right valarray is: ( 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ).
The element-by-element result of the bitwise operator & is the
valarray: ( 0 0 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 8 ).

operator&&

Obtains the logical AND between corresponding elements of two equally sized valarray objects, or between a valarray and a specified value of the valarray element type.

template <class Type>
valarray<bool>
operator&&(
    const valarray<Type>& left,
    const valarray<Type>& right);

template <class Type>
valarray<bool>
operator&&(
    const valarray<Type>& left,
    const Type& right);

template <class Type>
valarray<bool>
operator&&(
    const Type& left,
    const valarray<Type>& right);

Parameters

left
The first of the two valarray objects whose respective elements are to be combined with the logical AND, or a specified value of the element type to be combined with each element of a valarray.

right
The second of the two valarray objects whose respective elements are to be combined with the logical AND, or a specified value of the element type to be combined with each element of a valarray.

Return value

A valarray whose elements are of type bool and are the element-wise combination of the logical AND operation of left and right.

Remarks

The logical AND operator&& applies on an element level, counting all nonzero values as true, and the result is a valarray of Boolean values. The bitwise version of AND, operator&, by contrast, can result in a valarray of values other than 0 or 1, depending on the outcome of the bitwise operation.

The arithmetic terminology used in describing a division:

quotient = dividend / divisor

Example

Return Value

A valarray of Boolean values, each of which is:

  • true if the corresponding elements are equal.

  • false if the corresponding elements aren't equal.

Remarks

The first template operator returns an object of class valarray<bool>, each of whose elements I is left[I] == right[I]. The second template operator stores left[I] == right in element I. The third template operator stores left == right[I] in element I.

Example

// valarray_op_eq.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <valarray>
#include <iostream>

int main( )
{
   using namespace std;
   int i;

   valarray<int> vaL ( 10 ), vaR ( 10 );

Remarks

A bitwise operation can only be used to manipulate bits in char and int data types and variants and not on float, double, long double, void, bool or other, more complex data types.

The bitwise exclusive OR (XOR) has the following semantics: Given bits b1 and b2, b1 XOR b2 is 1 if exactly one of the bits is 1; 0 if both bits are 0 or if both bits are 1.

Example

// valarray_op_xor.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <valarray>
#include <iostream>

int main( )
{
   using namespace std;
   int i;

   valarray<int> vaL ( 10 ), vaR ( 10 );
   valarray<int> vaLAA ( 10 );
   for ( i = 0 ; i < 10 ; i += 2 )
      vaL [ i ] =  1;
   for ( i = 1 ; i < 10 ; i += 2 )
      vaL [ i ] =  0;
   for ( i = 0 ; i < 10 ; i += 3 )
      vaR [ i ] =  i;
   for ( i = 1 ; i < 10 ; i += 3 )
      vaR [ i ] =  i-1;
   for ( i = 2 ; i < 10 ; i += 3 )

      for ( i = 0 ; i < 10 ; i++ )
         cout << vaL [ i ] << " ";
   cout << ")." << endl;

   cout << "The initial Right valarray is: ( ";
      for ( i = 0 ; i < 10 ; i++ )
         cout << vaR [ i ] << " ";
   cout << ")." << endl;

   vaLAA = ( vaL ^ vaR );
   cout << "The element-by-element result of "
        << "the bitwise XOR operator^ is the\n"
        << "valarray: ( ";
           for ( i = 0 ; i < 10 ; i++ )
         cout << vaLAA [ i ] << " ";
   cout << ")." << endl;

operator|

Obtains the bitwise OR between corresponding elements of two equally sized valarray objects or between a valarray and a specified value of the element type.

template <class Type>
valarray<Type>
operator|(
    const valarray<Type>& left,
    const valarray<Type>& right);

template <class Type>
valarray<Type>
operator|(
    const valarray<Type>& left,
    const Type& right);

template <class Type>
valarray<Type>
operator|(
    const Type& left,
    const valarray<Type>& right);

Parameters

left
The first of the two valarray objects whose respective elements are to be combined with the bitwise OR, or a specified value of the element type to be combined by bitwise OR with each element of a valarray.

right
The second of the two valarray objects whose respective elements are to be combined with the bitwise OR, or a specified value of the element type to be combined by bitwise OR with each element of a valarray.

Return value

A valarray whose elements are the element-wise combination of the bitwise OR operation of left and right.

Remarks

A bitwise operation can only be used to manipulate bits in char and int data types and variants and not on float, double, long double, void, bool or other, more complex data types.

The bitwise OR has the same truth table as the logical OR, but applies to the data type on the level of the individual bits. Given bits b1 and b2, b1 OR b2 is 1 if at least one of the bits is 1, or 0 if both bits are 0. The logical OR operator|| applies on an element level, counting all nonzero values as true, and the result is a valarray of Boolean values. The bitwise OR operator|, by contrast, can result in a valarray of values other than 0 or 1, depending on the outcome of the bitwise operation.

Example

// valarray_op_bitor.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <valarray>
#include <iostream>

int main( )
{
   using namespace std;

   for ( i = 1 ; i < 10 ; i += 3 )
      vaR [ i ] =  i-1;
   for ( i = 2 ; i < 10 ; i += 3 )
      vaR [ i ] =  i-1;

   cout << "The initial Left valarray is:  ( ";
      for (i = 0 ; i < 10 ; i++ )
         cout << vaL [ i ] << " ";
   cout << ")." << endl;

   cout << "The initial Right valarray is: ( ";
      for (i = 0 ; i < 10 ; i++ )

      for (i = 0 ; i < 10 ; i++ )
         cout << vaLAA [ i ] << " ";
   cout << ")." << endl;

The initial Right valarray is: ( 0 0 1 3 3 4 6 6 7 9 ).
The element-by-element result of the bitwise OR operator| is the
valarray: ( 1 0 1 3 3 4 7 6 7 9 ).

valarray<bool>
operator||(
    const Type& left,
