not_equal_to Struct
The latest version of this topic can be found at not_equal_to Struct.
A binary predicate that performs the inequality operation ( operator!=) on its arguments.
Syntax
template <class Type = void>
struct not_equal_to : public binary_function<Type, Type, bool>
{
bool operator()(
const Type& Left,
const Type& Right) const;
};
// specialized transparent functor for operator!=
template <>
struct not_equal_to<void>
{
template <class T, class U>
auto operator()(T&& Left, U&& Right) const
->
decltype(std::forward<T>(Left)
!= std::forward<U>(Right));
};
Parameters
Type, T, U
Any type that supports an operator!= that takes operands of the specified or inferred types.
Left
The left operand of the inequality operation. The unspecialized template takes an lvalue reference argument of type Type. The specialized template does perfect forwarding of lvalue and rvalue reference arguments of inferred type T.
Right
The right operand of the inequality operation. The unspecialized template takes an lvalue reference argument of type Type. The specialized template does perfect forwarding of lvalue and rvalue reference arguments of inferred type U.
Return Value
The result of Left``!=``Right. The specialized template does perfect forwarding of the result, which has the type that's returned by operator!=.
Remarks
The objects of type Type must be equality-comparable. This requires that the operator!= defined on the set of objects satisfies the mathematical properties of an equivalence relation. All of the built-in numeric and pointer types satisfy this requirement.

cout << "The result of the element-wise not_equal_to comparsion\n"
<< "between v1 & v2 is: ( " ;
for ( Iter3 = v3.begin( ) ; Iter3 != v3.end( ) ; Iter3++ )
cout << *Iter3 << " ";
cout << ")" << endl;
}
/* Output:
The vector v1 = ( 0 1 4 5 8 9 )
The vector v2 = ( -0 1 -4 5 -8 9 )
The result of the element-wise not_equal_to comparsion
between v1 & v2 is: ( 0 0 1 0 1 0 )
