std::unary_function(3)

NAME
std::unary_function - std::unary_function

Synopsis
   Defined in header <functional>
   template< typename ArgumentType, typename ResultType > (deprecated in C++11)
   struct unary_function; (removed in C++17)
   std::unary_function is a base class for creating function objects with one argument.
   std::unary_function does not define operator(); it is expected that derived classes
   will define this. std::unary_function provides only two types - argument_type and
   result_type - defined by the template parameters.
   Some standard library function object adaptors, such as std::not1, require the
   function objects they adapt to have certain types defined; std::not1 requires the
   function object being adapted to have a type named argument_type. Deriving function
   objects that take one argument from std::unary_function is an easy way to make them
   compatible with those adaptors.
   std::unary_function is deprecated in C++11.

Example
// Run this code
 #include <algorithm>
 #include <functional>
 #include <iostream>
 #include <vector>
 struct less_than_7 : std::unary_function<int, bool>
 {
     bool operator()(int i) const { return i < 7; }
 };
 int main()
 {
     std::vector<int> v(10, 7);
     v[0] = v[1] = v[2] = 6;
     std::cout << std::count_if(v.begin(), v.end(), std::not1(less_than_7()));
     // C++11 solution:
     // Cast to std::function<bool (int)> somehow - even with a lambda
     // std::cout << std::count_if(v.begin(), v.end(),
     // std::not1(std::function<bool (int)>([](int i) { return i < 7; })));
 }

Output:
 7
