unary_negate Class

A template class providing a member function that negates the return value of a specified unary function.

template<class Predicate>
   class unary_negate
      : public unary_function<
         typename Predicate::argument_type,
         bool> 
   {
   public:
   explicit unary_negate(
      const Predicate& _Func
   );
   bool operator()(
      const typename Predicate::argument_type& _Left ) const;
   };

Parameters

• _Func
  The unary function to be negated.

• _Left
  The operand of the unary function to be negated.

Return Value

The negation of the unary function.

Remarks

The template class stores a copy of a unary function object _Func. It defines its member function operator() as returning !_Func(_Left).

The constructor of unary_negate is rarely used directly. The helper function not1 provides an easier way to declare and use the unary_negator adaptor predicate.

Example

// functional_unary_negate.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <vector>
#include <functional>
#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    vector<int> v1;
    vector<int>::iterator Iter;

    int i;
    for (i = 0; i <= 7; i++)
    {
        v1.push_back(5 * i);
    }

    cout << "The vector v1 = ( ";
    for (Iter = v1.begin(); Iter != v1.end(); Iter++)
        cout << *Iter << " ";
    cout << ")" << endl;

    vector<int>::iterator::difference_type result1;
    // Count the elements greater than 10
    result1 = count_if(v1.begin(), v1.end(), bind2nd(greater<int>(), 10));
    cout << "The number of elements in v1 greater than 10 is: "
         << result1 << "." << endl;

    vector<int>::iterator::difference_type result2;
    // Use the negator to count the elements less than or equal to 10
    result2 = count_if(v1.begin(), v1.end(),
        unary_negate<binder2nd <greater<int> > >(bind2nd(greater<int>(),10)));

    // The following helper function not1 also works for the above line
    // not1(bind2nd(greater<int>(), 10)));

    cout << "The number of elements in v1 not greater than 10 is: "
         << result2 << "." << endl;
}

The vector v1 = ( 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 )
The number of elements in v1 greater than 10 is: 5.
The number of elements in v1 not greater than 10 is: 3.
