unary_function<Arg Result>


Category: functors	Component type: type

Description

Unary_function is an empty base class: it contains no member functions or member variables but only type information. The only reason it exists is to make it more convenient to define types that are models of the concept Adaptable Unary Function. Specifically any model of Adaptable Unary Function must define nested typedefs. Those typedefs are provided by the base class unary_function.

Example

struct sine : public unary_function<double
double> {
    double operator()(double x) { return sin(x); }
};

Definition

Defined in the standard header functional and in the nonstandard backward-compatibility header function.h.

New members

These members are not defined in the Assignable and Default Constructible requirements but are specific to unary_function.

Member	Description
`argument_type`	The function object's argument type. This is a `typedef` for the template parameter `Arg`.
`result_type`	The function object's result type. This is a `typedef` for the template parameter `Result`.
