| <A NAME="sec4"><H3>Description</H3></A> |
| <P>Function objects are objects with an <SAMP>operator()</SAMP> defined. They are important for the effective use of the standard library's generic algorithms, because the interface for each algorithmic template can accept either an object with an <SAMP>operator()</SAMP> defined or a pointer to a function. The C++ Standard Library includes both a standard set of function objects, and a pair of classes that you can use as the base for creating your own function objects. </P> |
| <P>Function objects that take two arguments are called<I> binary function objects</I>. Binary function objects are required to include the typedefs <SAMP>first_argument_type</SAMP>, <SAMP>second_argument_type</SAMP>, and <SAMP>result_type</SAMP>. The <B><I>binary_function</I></B> class makes the task of creating templatized binary function objects easier by including the necessary typedefs for a binary function object. You can create your own binary function objects by inheriting from <B><I>binary_function</I></B>.</P> |
