bind2nd Function
A helper template function that creates an adaptor to convert a binary function object into a unary function object by binding the second argument of the binary function to a specified value.
template<class Operation, class Type>
binder2nd <Operation> bind2nd(
const Operation& _Func,
const Type& _Right
);
Parameters
_Func
The binary function object to be converted to a unary function object._Right
The value to which the second argument of the binary function object is to be bound.
Return Value
The unary function object that results from binding the second argument of the binary function object to the value _Right.
Remarks
Function binders are a kind of function adaptor and, because they return function objects, can be used in certain types of function composition to construct more complicated and powerful expressions.
If _Func is an object of type Operation and c is a constant, then bind2nd ( _Func, c ) is equivalent to the binder2nd class constructor binder2nd<Operation> ( _Func, c ) and more convenient.
Example
// functional_bind2nd.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <vector>
#include <functional>
#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
// Creation of a user-defined function object
// that inherits from the unary_function base class
class greaterthan15: unary_function<int, bool>
{
public:
result_type operator()(argument_type i)
{
return (result_type)(i > 15);
}
};
int main()
{
vector<int> v1;
vector<int>::iterator Iter;
int i;
for (i = 0; i <= 5; i++)
{
v1.push_back(5 * i);
}
cout << "The vector v1 = ( ";
for (Iter = v1.begin(); Iter != v1.end(); Iter++)
cout << *Iter << " ";
cout << ")" << endl;
// Count the number of integers > 10 in the vector
vector<int>::iterator::difference_type result1a;
result1a = count_if(v1.begin(), v1.end(), bind2nd(greater<int>(), 10));
cout << "The number of elements in v1 greater than 10 is: "
<< result1a << "." << endl;
// Compare counting the number of integers > 15 in the vector
// with a user-defined function object
vector<int>::iterator::difference_type result1b;
result1b = count_if(v1.begin(), v1.end(), greaterthan15());
cout << "The number of elements in v1 greater than 15 is: "
<< result1b << "." << endl;
// Count the number of integers < 10 in the vector
vector<int>::iterator::difference_type result2;
result2 = count_if(v1.begin(), v1.end(), bind1st(greater<int>(), 10));
cout << "The number of elements in v1 less than 10 is: "
<< result2 << "." << endl;
}
The vector v1 = ( 0 5 10 15 20 25 ) The number of elements in v1 greater than 10 is: 3. The number of elements in v1 greater than 15 is: 2. The number of elements in v1 less than 10 is: 2.
