std::negate

Defined in header `<functional>`
template< class T > struct negate;		(until C++14)
template< class T = void > struct negate;		(since C++14)

Function object for performing negation. Effectively calls operator- on an instance of type T.

Specializations

The standard library provides a specialization of std::negate when T is not specified, which leaves the parameter types and return type to be deduced.

negate<void>

function object implementing -x deducing argument and return types
(class template specialization)

(since C++14)

Member types

Type	Definition
`result_type`	`T`
`argument_type`	`T`

Member functions

operator()

returns the negation of the argument
(public member function)

std::negate::operator()

T operator()( const T& arg ) const;		(until C++14)
constexpr T operator()( const T& arg ) const;		(since C++14)

Returns the negation of arg.

Parameters

arg

value to compute negation of

Return value

The result of -arg.

Exceptions

(none).

Possible implementation

constexpr T operator()(const T &arg) const 
{
    return -arg;
}
