template<classT>structmultiplies;(until C++14)template<classT=void>structmultiplies;(since C++14)Function object for performing multiplication. Effectively calls operator* on two instances of type T.
Specializations
The standard library provides a specialization of std::multiplies when T is not specified, which leaves the parameter types and return type to be deduced.
(C++14)
function object implementing x*y deducing parameter and return types
(class template specialization)
(since C++14)Member types
Type Definition result_type(deprecated in C++17)(removed in C++20)Tfirst_argument_type(deprecated in C++17)(removed in C++20)Tsecond_argument_type(deprecated in C++17)(removed in C++20)TThese member types are obtained via publicly inheriting std::binary_function<T,T,T>.
(until C++11)Member functions
operator()
returns the product of two arguments
(public member function)std::multiplies::operator()
Toperator()(constT&lhs,constT&rhs)const;(constexpr since C++14)Returns the product of lhs and rhs.
Parameters
lhs, rhs - values to multiply Return value
The result of lhs*rhs.
Exceptions
May throw implementation-defined exceptions.
Possible implementation
constexprToperator()(constT&lhs,constT&rhs)const{returnlhs*rhs;}
