std::valarray<T>::operator+,-,~,!

valarray<T> operator+() const;

valarray<T> operator-() const;

valarray<T> operator~() const;

valarray<bool> operator!() const;

Applies unary operators to each element in the numeric array.

Parameters

(none).

Return value

A numeric array containing elements with values obtained by applying corresponding operator to the values in *this.

Exceptions

May throw implementation-defined exceptions.

Notes

Each of the operators can only be instantiated if the following requirements are met:

• The indicated operator can be applied to type T
• The result value can be unambiguously converted to T (1-3) or bool (4).

The function can be implemented with the return type different from std::valarray. In this case, the replacement type has the following properties:

• All const member functions of std::valarray are provided.
• std::valarray, std::slice_array, std::gslice_array, std::mask_array and std::indirect_array can be constructed from the replacement type.
• All functions accepting an argument of type const std::valarray& except begin() and end() (since C++11) should also accept the replacement type.
• All functions accepting two arguments of type const std::valarray& should accept every combination of const std::valarray& and the replacement type.
• The return type does not add more than two levels of template nesting over the most deeply-nested argument type.

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <valarray>
#include <string_view>
 
template <typename T>
void print(std::string_view const note,
           std::valarray<T> const vala, // by-value, see Notes above
           std::string_view const term = "\n")
{
    std::cout << note << std::boolalpha << std::showpos;
    for (T const element: vala)
        std::cout << '\t' << element;
    std::cout << term;
}
 
int main()
{
    std::valarray<int> x{ 1, 2, 3, 4 };
    print<int>("x: ", x);
    print<int>("+x: ", +x);
    print<int>("+ + x: ", + + x);
    print<int>("-x: ", -x);
    print<int>("- - x: ", - - x, "\n\n");
 
    std::valarray<short> y{ 0, 1, -1, 0x7fff };
    print<short>("y: ", y);
    print<short>("~y: ", ~y);
    print<short>("~~y: ", ~~y, "\n\n");
 
    std::valarray<bool> z{ true, false };
    print<bool>("z: ", z);
    print<bool>("!z: ", !z);
    print<bool>("!!z: ", !!z);
}

y:      +0      +1      -1      +32767
~y:     -1      -2      +0      -32768
