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.

(C++14)
function object implementing -x deducing argument and return types
(class template specialization)
(since C++14)

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)

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

May throw implementation-defined exceptions.

Possible implementation

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