| Defined in header | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | ------------- | | 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.

[edit] 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. function object implementing -x deducing parameter and return types (class template specialization) [edit] (since C++14)

[edit] Member types

Type Definition
result_type (deprecated in C++17)(removed in C++20) T
argument_type (deprecated in C++17)(removed in C++20) T
These member types are obtained via publicly inheriting std::unary_function<T, T>. (until C++11)

[edit] Member functions

| | returns the negation of the argument (public member function) | | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |

std::negate::operator()

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

Returns the negation of arg.

Parameters

arg - value to compute negation of

Return value

The result of -arg.

[edit] Exceptions

May throw implementation-defined exceptions.

Possible implementation

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