class minus < void > ;
(since C++14)

std:: minus < void > is a specialization of std::minus with parameter and return type deduced.

Member types

Type Definition
is_transparent unspecified

Member functions

operator()
returns the difference of two arguments
(public member function)

std::minus<void>:: operator()

template < class T, class U >

constexpr auto operator ( ) ( T && lhs, U && rhs ) const

- > decltype ( std:: forward < T > ( lhs ) - std:: forward < U > ( rhs ) ) ;

Returns the difference of lhs and rhs .

Parameters

lhs, rhs - values to subtract

Return value

std:: forward < T > ( lhs ) - std:: forward < U > ( rhs ) .

Example

#include <complex>
#include <functional>
#include <iostream>
 
int main()
{
    auto complex_minus = std::minus<void>{}; // “void” can be omitted
    constexpr std::complex<int> z(4, 2);
    std::cout << complex_minus(z, 1) << '\n';
    std::cout << (z - 1) << '\n';
}

Output:
