(since C++14)

Function object for performing subtraction. Effectively calls operator- on two instances of type T.

[edit] Specializations

The standard library provides a specialization of std::minus when T is not specified, which leaves the parameter types and return type to be deduced.

function object implementing x - y deducing parameter and return types
(class template specialization) [edit]
(since C++14)

[edit] Member types

Type Definition
result_type (deprecated in C++17)(removed in C++20) T
first_argument_type (deprecated in C++17)(removed in C++20) T
second_argument_type (deprecated in C++17)(removed in C++20) T

These member types are obtained via publicly inheriting std::binary_function<T, T, T>.

(until C++11)

[edit] Member functions

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

std::minus::operator()

T operator()( const T& lhs, const T& rhs ) const;
(constexpr since C++14)

Returns the difference between lhs and rhs.

Parameters

lhs, rhs - values to subtract from one another

Return value

The result of lhs - rhs.

[edit] Exceptions

May throw implementation-defined exceptions.

Possible implementation

constexpr T operator()(const T& lhs, const T& rhs) const 
{
    return lhs - rhs;
}
