unary_function<> Structure
Illustrates how to use the unary_function<> structure in Visual C++.
template<class _A, class _R>
struct unary_function
{
typedef _A Argument_Type;
typedef _R Result_Type;
};
Remarks
Nota
The class/parameter names in the prototype do not match the version in the header file. Some have been modified to improve readability.
unary_function is used as a base class to better define operator functions in the following format: Result_Type classname::operatorX(Argument_Type).
Example
// unary_function.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
//
// Structure used:
// unary_function<int, float> - allows us
// to write operator functions accepting an
// integer and returning floats.

using namespace std ;
/* derive class from unary_function in order to use it */

{
public:
float value;
unary_test(){value=10.0;}

/* You can now easily create operators that accept */
/* an int and return a float. */

{
float tmp = value - (float)x;
cout << "Value after minus is " << tmp << endl ;
return tmp;
}
int main(void)
{
unary_test item;
unary_test item2(18.0);
cout << "Begin" << endl ;
cout.setf(ios::fixed) ;
item = item * 2;
item2 = item2 - 5;
}
Begin
Value after * is 20.000000
Value after minus is 13.000000
