Member functions

operator()
returns its negated argument
(public member function)

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

template < class T >

constexpr auto operator ( ) ( T && arg ) const

- > decltype ( - std:: forward < T > ( arg ) ) ;

Returns the result of negating arg .

Parameters

arg - value to negate

Return value

- std:: forward < T > ( arg ) .

Example

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

Output:

(4,2)
(-4,-2)
(-4,-2)
