std:: binary_negate

std::binary_negate is a wrapper function object returning the complement of the binary predicate it holds.

The binary predicate type must define two member types, first_argument_type and second_argument_type , that are convertible to the predicate's parameter types. The function objects obtained from std::owner_less , std::ref , std::cref , std::plus , std::minus , std::multiplies , std::divides , std::modulus , std::equal_to , std::not_equal_to , std::greater , std::less , std::greater_equal , std::less_equal , std::logical_not , std::logical_or , std::bit_and , std::bit_or , std::bit_xor , std::mem_fn , std::map::value_comp , std::multimap::value_comp , std::function , or from a call to std::not2 have these types defined, as are function objects derived from the deprecated std::binary_function .

std::binary_negate objects are easily constructed with helper function std::not2 .

struct same : std::binary_function<int, int, bool>

    std::reverse_copy(v1.begin(), v1.end(), v2.begin());
 
    std::vector<bool> v3(v1.size());
 
    std::binary_negate<same> not_same((same()));

    //     [](int x, int y) -> bool { return !same()(x, y); };
 
    std::transform(v1.begin(), v1.end(), v2.begin(), v3.begin(), not_same);
 
    std::cout.setf(std::ios_base::boolalpha);
    for (std::size_t i = 0; i != v1.size(); ++i)
        std::cout << v1[i] << " != " << v2[i] << " : " << v3[i] << '\n';
